We have a very small bedroom in our 4th floor walk-up apartment, where only a full-size bed fits (if you want to close the door to the room ;-)).  The bed came in three large boxes and was very well packed and protected.  The material is hardwood, not particle board.  I'm not very handy and I was working alone so it took me a few hours to put together but it's a great, very sturdy piece of furniture that looks great.  

Pros: Great value, good quality, well-made
