Five parts and 20 bolts with very intuitive assembly instructions. Two people would be helpful when starting, but I assembled it easily myself. It took less then an hour (but I was distracted watching a football game). It would be best to use your own tools; an Allen wrench and socket/combination wrenches.Good idea to square the frame by measuring the two diagonals with a tape measure before tightening the bolts. The slats had a slight odor when unwrapped from the plastic and but the odor quickly dissipated.The last two holes had a little excess metal that was cleared with a screwdriver. No squeaks from the frame.
My new mattress has a generous return policy but the return policy could be voided if the base does not provide a solid foundation, e.g., the stats are more than four inches apart. The slats on this frame are four inches apart.
Easy assembly sturdy construction.
