The bed was very easy to put together. It took me about 1.5 hrs to complete because I was impatient waiting on my husband to get home from work and I was cleaning in/between putting it together. 2 people would be better putting it together; 1 to hold things in place while the other does the screwing.
I was upset because the slot where the headboard went was bent inward a bit. But i took the end of my hammer to straighten it out. Perfect. It has not squeaked, groaned or moved. No noise whatsoever. Our total weight is about 300lbs together. I also tossed my box spring and got a Vertical Bunkie board. The vertical bunkie board is way better than A horizontal board because the beds rails are horizontal themselves. My mattress is a Queen and 11 inches in height. Its sturdy and heavy in weight. The under storage is great for my wooden crates from home depot. The rails underneath are screwed in and they do not slide.
A box spring of 8 inches or taller with your mattress will decrease headboard space in my opinion. Assembly is very easy.
