Great bed, firm and sturdy! I added a bunky board over the slats before putting in my new mattress and it is now great! Putting it together was easy but a bit time consuming, you need a screwdriver for some of the wood screws. The only problem (which is why I gave 4 stars) was that it comes in 3 large and really heavy packages, and I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment building so I needed a dolly to move them from the office downstairs to my place. Also we have a freight elevator at my building which  helped a lot, if you do not then you are going to need some serious help, you cannot do it alone.
