Our murphy bed arrived exceptionally packed. It was attached to a pallet to protect the casters. My husband and I laid the box on it's side and removed 8 screws to remove the pallet, the we unwrapped the well protected unit and easily rolled it to the bedroom. This murphy bed comes FULLY ASSEMBLED. Not only does this QUEEN bed look great as a cabinet, it is well made and comfortable. I'm 50+ and I can open and set up by myself. It has 8 sturdy caster wheels and easy to move on thick carpet. The padding is sufficient and comfortable, but I added a 3 inch memory foam mattress. Now it is super plush. You can't fold with the extra mattress so I roll it up and place in the closet.  I like the fact that I can move it anywhere. With or without it in the room provides a multi-purpose room.
