The bed came in 5 boxes pre assembled for the most part. I am a 36 y old woman and put the bed together by myself for the most part. The only part my husband had to help me with was screwing the drawers in. I do wish this bed came in a little better shape because it had quite a few big scratches . Overall, it’s a nice bed (real
Wood) and my son loves it and we were able to hide the scratches.
