Came faster than estimated delivery. Four boxes. Very sturdy and heavy. Easy to put together. You will need two people to lift toward the end of assembly. You will also need two people to lay it down and up. If just one person does it, you’ll have to pull it away from a wall. It goes perfectly in our hunting room. The mattress is heavy, thick and a medium firm. I like having the two end shelves that you are able to put up or down.
