The bed frame is pretty and seems well made. From reading the reviews I thought it would be easy to put together. There are many parts. It took two people about 1 and 1/2 hours. It is study - haven’t put a mattress on it yet . I think the many parts help make it strong and it come with all you need - but it does take some organized effort. I’d probably pay for set up from company if I did it again.
