I love the packaging. All in one box. But one heavy box.  The size of the main part of the headboard, all the other prices are inside. Love the tools packet and the spare prices. Building it took a single female, 45 minutes to an hour. For a queen bed. Two things to note. If you plan on putting under bed storage don't go with a box higher than a max of 6 1/2 inches. Also what you don't see or realize in the pictures that are online, is that the left and right sides of the bed are actually comprised of two pieces so there is a joint at the middle point of the bed. I don't think it takes away from the modern lines at all.
