The beauty of this piece is the assembly process.  This was clearly designed by someone who (as I have) moved multiple times and put together/taken apart beds over and over and over.  Included in the box was a mini-ratchet wrench - handy and a time-saver.  Also, the brilliant idea of the slats being divided into two sections secured by both a wooden dowel AND - genius - velcro!  Lastly, the no-slip adhesive on two of the slats so that the mattress isn't continually sliding off.
