Item arrived quickly and in good shape.  Due to the design of the packaging, all of the pieces to the platform bed are placed inside of the headboard, allowing for protection during shipping.  The box was quite heavy so I opened it outside, and carried the pieces inside in bunches, making it much easier to manage.  Assembly took roughly 45 min and I would suggest having another helper, especially when attaching the sideboards to the headboard and footrail.  Can't beat the look and quality for the money.  Would recommend.
