The bed arrived in separate packaging that made it possible for a single person to carry it to the destination room (though I would recommended 2 people carry it safely). We purchased a full size. The instructions could have been better, but it was straightforward to assemble. Pieces fit together nicely and I built the bed in under 2 hours. My wife and daughter approve of the design. The wood and construction feels much higher quality than what I saw in the box stores at a similar price range. Overall I would recommend the bed.
