Frame is simple to put together, it’s easier with two people, but one can do it if you’re handy.The bed sits low, which I’m not complaining, I knew the dimensions before I ordered, just wanted to make it clear to those that don’t read the description, just the reviews. The fabric is darker than it looks in the photos. I will say the anti-squeak padding on the frame is a plus. The mattress sits on top of the platform, makes it easy to make the bed. There is zero storage space, if you’re like me I don’t want anything under the bed, this is perfect. You have about a 4 inch clearance. I can lay in the bed and hang my legs off, and my feet touch the ground. It’s like sitting in a chair when you sit on the side of the bed. Frame is sturdy, it’s been “broken in” if you know what I mean and it stayed solid. Looks great and has a mid century modern feel. Also, the weight rating is 800pnds. I’m a big dude, no problems with the slats.
