This bed is GLAM. I ordered the white bed which ended up being more of an off-white not WHITE white, so beware. The bed was delivered by a local logistics company to my house. The headboard itself is one piece, but the rest must be assembled. The part that holds up the mattress is actually several rows of wooden slats which can be tedious to put together. If you have an animal who likes to hide under the bed, there isn't a lot of ground clearance for this bed. They can still get under however, and if they are accident prone that could be a real pain to remove the slats again to clean, just saying. This bed sits lower than a lot of beds so it could be an adjustment when you hit the ground in the morning. Overall I am pleased and would order again!
