My fiancé and I both love it! It comes as a pretty large and heavy package. My fiancé and I slid it across our apartment complex to our unit from the leasing office package center.  While the box was ripped on the side, the inner contents were safe as they were covered up. Instructions were easy to read.  It took us about 3 hours to complete it, but we took a lunch break in the middle. It would've been tough to assemble this by myself so I recommend having at least two people do it. I would also HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking a photo of the pack of screws before you open it up. Made it easier to remember which screws are what. (I've included my photo for anyone in case they forget to.)

I have a zinnus memory foam 10" mattress and it sits on top of the slats with no siding to hold the bed in place. I don't mind because the bed is heavy enough to not slide around. The end of my mattress does surpass the foot board, but my comforter hides that.
