If you have to carry this package yourself, forget it.
The driver left the package on the first floor of my apartment complex and it was opened to one side. I had to push it up the stairs myself, while a gracious neighbor helped me get it into my unit. After the box was completely opened, there was broken styrofoam and ripped tears in the the wrapper. Bits of styrofoam popcorn were everywhere. With a little bit of cleaning after and assembly it worked out fine. Its kind of like the potential boyfriend you never expect and if you keep with it, you might think it was a good investment. To be honest, had I known the package was too bulky I wouldve ordered a platform bed without the frame. If the bed is being delivered to a house or first floor resident, that would be ideal. If your complex doesnt have elevators and youre a sole assembly person good luck! Not recommended for a woman to build alone, but perfect if you got a buddy to help. This is coming from a person who used to decorate/ design room vignettes at and assembled a lot of prepackaged furniture.
