Pretty easy to put together after recognizing that the screws weren't labeled correctly for two sets but fairly easy to follow directions and get it ready for the hybrid mattress I got for the queen in black. This was truly a great purchase as far as quality for pricing and would definitely get another style from this company very soon. It's STURDY and quieter than I expected. The pictures didn't give me much confidence in the fitting of the fairly inexpensive hybrid mattress ordered for it, but surprisingly it is fitted for my 12"" and could easily Jackie a 14"" but NOT bigger than that. I'm very happy so far and do recommend it for anyone that needs a taller platform bed.
