Although this bedframe was very very heavy to carry up my stairs it was very easy to assemble. The instructions for very straight forward. The sturdiness is excellent for the price as long as you screw it in correctly everything will fall into place I loved decorating my bed everything in my picture came from Walmart the tapestry, the pillows , along with the pillowcases the comforter, the mattress and etc. I really enjoyed myself while Assembling this bedframe. This was a great purchase!
