The shipment is a long, narrow box, that weighs nearly 50 pounds. I really like this design, overall, and it looks great in the room. I use a foam (expansion type) mattress, which is very comfortable on this platform. These bed frame kits today are easier to assemble than ever, with the excellent included allen wrench, but I admit I am not so good at it as you may be. If you have trade skills, it might take you a half hour. If not, like me, it might take a couple leisurely hours or more studying the instructions again and again. I do like the result and it sleeps very comfortably.
