This bed was really easy to assemble because the directions were clear and the product was made with enough quality so that everything was a simple fit. I love the bed, perfect dimensions for my twin and it is very sturdy with great support from slats and third "leg" which most beds in this price point don't have and looks more expensive than it is. The mattress does fit flush on top of it so there is no "overhang" as seen in some of the pics but I had already read that in another review and that was fine by me. I'm really please with this purchase.
