The assembly on this frame was pretty straight forward so long as you are paying attention to the pieces you are putting together. The 4 bins are 2 different sizes and they are very easy to confuse, so if the holes dont line up properly, you may just be using the wrong bin pieces.
The wood ribs feel a little flimsy, but with the metal center post running the center width and length of the bed i wouldnt be too worried about breakage. I have a foam/gel mattress though so i did get some mdf boards cut to fit the frame and laid them down on top of the ribs.
The storage bins are awesome! I actually really like that they are not on tracks and just slide in and out from under the bed. Makes assembly and use so much simpler. I also like that the bins drop lock into the frame, so if you didnt know you needed to lift up on the bin a little to unlock and pull it out, you would just assume they were decorative skirts and not storage. So, sneaky storage
I also really like that the headboard can be set up high for if you are using a box spring, or low if you arent/only using a bunkie board.
Easy to assemble, love the storage bins
