This was my first purchase from wayfair. i am a 57 year old woman so i am not exactly "handy" at putting things together! i was delighted to find that this frame came partially assembled. (there are 2 pieces basically, plus legs and screws.)it took me about 30 minutes! i was done!this bed frame is very sturdy and is made from heavy duty steel-not flimsy like other bed frames i have had in the past.i would definitely recommend this frame. i look forward to using it for many years to come.thanks wayfair for making my first purchase definitely not my last!pros: sturdy, easy to assemble, good value.cons: none
