I LOVE THIS BED AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. The packaging is a long, skinny (heavy) box. I live alone and was able to open it up on my porch and bring it upstairs, piece by piece, and assemble it by myself. This is my first time ever assembling anything of this magnitude. I tend to get confused with instructions and parts, so I usually get a friend to do these things for me. I struggled a bit to get it done. Took 2 hours and 15 minutes. But, as I kept messing up (put the legs on backwards, etc.) and backtracking to fix it, I could see the instructions were pretty clear. I just get a little dyslexic over these things. One of the boards was slightly warped and wouldn't line up perfectly as I screwed it in. I decided to take it apart and try that board on the other side, and it fit way better there. I'm a 140 lb. woman and purchased the deluxe model. Super supportive and beautiful. I love the espresso finish! Will be purchasing the Queen for my other bedroom. Can't wait!!
Beautiful and sturdy!
