The bed arrived as scheduled.  This was for my daughter's first college apartment and it is perfect!  It took us about an hour to put together.  Some of the metal slats were incredibly hard to fit into the frame, but we got it to work.  It's sturdy and beautiful.  I had an 8" mattress delivered and will place a 3" memory foam topper on it.  The headboard is a nice height and looks like a very expensive bed.  We are quite pleased
