The boxes were heavy and I was worried setup would be difficult, but this bed can easily be set up with just 1 person...though 2 would be best. Took about 30 minutes start to finish. 
Color is more gray than the photo (which is what I was hoping for), would go great with grey or brown tones. 
Very thick headboard, and sturdy frame. I have my tempurpedic matress and foundation in here and it fits perfectly.
