It’s a good bed for the price. The whole bed ships in one big box which is VERY heavy (headboard separate, much smaller box), and there was some damage to two corners of the bed that occurred during shipping, but thedamage was almost completely hidden after assembly. I was able to assemble this by myself without much difficulty, but I have assembled many things before, so that may have helped. The only concern I have is the drawer pulls- they stick out from the edge of the bed, and we have hit our shins/toes on them a few times.
