Received in 3 boxes, it took my husband a few hours to put together. Not too bad, though directions were mislabled in a spot or two, and the bag of screws had broken and were laying all inside the box. Luckily they were all there. So far a little difficult for us to pull into a bed, it takes 2. My daughter said it was comfy to sleep on, though I did buy a thick mattress pad to lay on top. I used full size linens. I am waiting to see if 2 people can sleep as comfortably on it as one.
