Arrived securely in one box.   Opened and was surprised at the quality of headboard and footboard.  Nicely passed with beautiful grey fabric. 
Easy to put together.  The screws were in the places they belonged instead of a bag of screws that you have to search through to find the one you need.  Took about 15 minute to completely put together.  The support slats are secured with Velcro. That way they do not move or make noise.  Plenty of support, the actual medal bed frame is very secure.   Besides the padding on headboard and foot board, the sides are also passed so no sharp edges to hit your shins on.  Nice hight off ground so you can store extra bedding or whatever under bed.  
Love it.  Can’t give it a high enough score.  Looks beautiful
