This frame was not to difficult to put together, but I had complications. The foot rail and the metal rails that is on each side were slightly off on the right side of the foot rail. My sister and I had to manipulate the foot rail in order to get the leg to go in on the bottom and top. I laid on the bed and the frame seems to be pretty sturdy. If you have tile or wood you will have to purchase rubber stoppers because it will slide. One more thing! Multiple parts are the same letter. For example: there are 2 H pieces and 3 M pieces, so take all the parts out of the box and pay close attention to the letters on each part. When I thought I had to order another part, customer service was DECENT, but it was a drawn out process. Good Luck!
