Setup was very simple. You unfold the frame at the middle, then swing down the legs at each end until they snap into place. Next it was a simple matter of bolting the two frames together. There are small holes towards either end of the frame, run a screw through the hole, place a plastic space on the screw, run the screw through the corresponding hole on the 2nd frame, slip on a washer, and screw on the bolt. It even includes the necessary wrenches for the task. Once everything was unfolded & bolted together, the unit as a whole felt very sturdy. I had no concerns over it's ability to support my mattress and 2 people.

Other than the open hardware bag, I did notice a couple of things. First off there was rust powder on one end of both frames. Platform Queen Platform Bed Frame I inspected the framed, and couldn't find any rust after wiping off the powder, so not sure where that came from or if it was residue from the packaging process. Also the bed is a little shy of offering 14" of space underneath. First off, each corner has angled brackets for support, so those sections will make storage more difficult. Next the frame itself counts towards the overall 14" height, so you'll lose about 2" there.

As far as sleeping on it goes, I really can't tell the difference between this frame and any other form of foundation. Since it's 14" high, there is no noticeable difference in bed height, and with a skirt over the frame, you can't even tell there not a box under the mattress. Oh, and having the extra storage space is certainly a plus.
