This is a beautiful bed! My husband and brother put it together in about an hour. It was set to deliver in 6 weeks, but arrived in two. We were moving into a new home so this could have caused us problems, but luckily we closed the day before it had arrived. Also, it came in two boxes and the second arrived 3 days later than the first. We knew it came in two boxes due to the other comments so we waited on putting it together. Other than that, no problems. It's a very well made and sturdy bed. We have it with dark furniture and it looks beautiful!
