The bed looks nice, and it is pretty stable. The headboard and footboard come assembled, so you dont have to worry about putting all those rods in place. This is where the convenience stops, however. This bed frame does not work like many other where you simply unfold the base in two parts and connect them together with bolts. This one comes in multiple parts that you must connect to each other, then connect to other parts, then connect stabilizing legs, then attach the headboard and footboard. This is not where the assembly stops though. You must put each of the support slats into place individually, then secure them with plastic clips. Other frames I have seen simply have everything built in, and you just unfold the sides. This one will definitely take you at least 30 minutes to an hour to assemble.
The footboard is a bit short, so it is not as nice looking as it could be. I would actually prefer it if both the headboard and footboard were about three inches higher.
Nice looking, but requires many assembly steps
