This bed frame included easy to understand instructions and was pretty self-explanatory to assemble. I have seen a lot of reviews noting that it was difficult and the instructions made no sense. To these people I say, go back to kindergarten..... seriously, my 10 year old daughter could have done this. I also saw a lot of reviews talking about rust and incorrectly manufactured parts.... I can believe these people, however, I had no issues. If you buy this bed, make sure you have a simple understanding of "this goes into this" and have a basic kindergarten education, and you should be fine. Overall I find the frame sturdy. I did, and would recommend to buy some $7 black loctite for threads, all bolts are prone to come out and make it squeaky... I saw people commenting on the squeaky essay as well. If you are going to write a review.... get your facts together, do your research, and if you have no common sense, do not buy yhis product. If you can put something basic together and need a great frame, then this is your product. So....in summary.... very easy to assemble, very sturdy, great value for your money.In other summary, it appears that some of the people who bought this do not have the mental capacities of a gnat.
