I was looking for a sturdy bed frame that did not come with wood slats. Side note: I previously made the mistake of ordering a bed with wood slats and the wood warped and cracked within a month. This bed comes with metal rods that just drop into place (no screwing or bolting required).
Aside from this bed having a lot of pieces, it was actually very easy to assemble. I would recommend having a sturdier wrench on hand for tightening the bolts. The one they provide works, but is flimsy. My daughter and I put it together in about two hours. I also recommend having two people for assembly to help hold the parts in place since they are long and bulky.
Overall, the bed was super sturdy and exceeded my expectations. If you choose to use canopy curtains, consider putting them on before you finish installing the top rods so you dont have to go back and dissemble anything. My only complaint is that the finials do not screw in tightly. They stay in place, but are not fully secured.
Great Quality
