it was easy to put together.. they had this really cool ratcheted alen/hex wrench .. that's so cool.  but the bed frame itself is so solid. rather than screwing the slats in, they are velcro. which was super fast. they do shift a bit when I get up but while sleeping there quiet and it's so much easier to put together that.  the metal frame doesn't creak like wood does.  I put wd40 spray on all the joints and bolts when I assembled it. its silent and hasn't really made a squeak. wood frames do creak and break. even thought the slats are wood the main part is metal.  its a great design
and i use it with a futon. I hate springs.  this is the hybrid
