Love this bed! It arrived about 2-3 weeks after I ordered it which was the standard for a package this size. Bed came in 2 packages that arrived together. The instructions were easy to read and understand. It took us about 2 hours to put together. The only thing I didn't like was that the instructions didn't specify what to build first once it came to the headboard. My advice is to open all the instructions(they came in seperate bags wih the bolts and nuts) to figure out what to build first. Final result is completely gorgeous and worth the time spent building it. This bed looks like a thousand dollar bed.
