3.5 stars/ and not for any really bad issues, just some that tend to add up. 1, building it by myself wasnt difficult, although I did think of Twister a few times trying to find a position to hold up a bar and screw it in. It took roughly 3 hours thanks to all the screwing. The last step, putting the bars down that hold the mattress, did get me confused for a second. There are these black plastic things that snap into the frame. Snap one in, then stick the bar into the plastic hole, go to the other side, place the other plastic piece onto the bar and snap it into the frame. It took me a minute to figure this out because the manual doesnt explain how to assemble this last part. 2, quality isnt bad, but it isnt the best. Not terrible, just.meh, you can tell the metal is a little thin. 3, the real part that made me write a review and take down a star. In a way I guess its my fault for not foreseeing this, but if your mattress is short enough, like 10 inches or under, and you sleep on your stomach, then there might be a time when your toes get caught between your mattress and the metal bar of the foot board. Which also means if youre tall and your feet tend to dangle off the bed, your legs/feet might get scrunched up by the bar blocking them. Im 54 for reference. A good cheap frame overall for what I need right now, but Ill be buying a new one in the future for sure.
