I didn’t think to take pictures before I assembled this, for which I’m sorry! But the pictures in the product description are accurate. 

Assembly This was pretty difficult to put together! I highly recommend you have a second pair of hands to help you while you put it together and attach it to the head and foot boards. However, I will say it was not complicated and the instructions were good. Just a lot to do with only one pair of hands. 

Sturdiness I am very happy with how sturdy this frame is! It’s very quiet and feels secure. 

Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase! The frame is exactly as described. I purchased a Queen size, which perfectly fit my box spring and mattress. I especially appreciate that this comes with foot board attachments. It seems that foot board attachments on a bed frame are hard to come by. It also is height adjustable, so it fit my head and foot board perfectly! I highly recommend this frame!
