It arrived quickly, given the circumstances, although I had to wait an extra day for one of the boxes. That box had a torn section exposing a wood part, but the contents were intact. Building took some time, but I was able to complete the Queen size by myself. My advice is definitely bring a power drill, it would have taken much longer to do by hand. It's a nice frame, I like the look and the storage. Some of the slats were a bit warped, but I was able to arrange them so they'd fit. Whether it's worth the cost--I don't know, it's a hefty price tag to live up to. Ask me in ten years, once I know how well it will hold up to use.
