Bought the bed for our master. Item arrived within 10 days of ordering and was packaged fairly well in two large
packages. One box had the headboard the other all of the metal materials. Super heavy to bring inside the house, you will need help to carry it. The instructions had to be downloaded and were very simple to follow. However, when building the first two sides of the bed I would advise the client to turn the bed over to its final position as you would not be able to turn it over in a room with 8 foot ceilings. After completing step 1 and 2 the assembly should be placed as close a possible to its spot. Everything went together very well and I would propose to include an Allen Key bit for power drills. When using a drill with the proper bit, the assembly went down in one hour only compared to many reviews that had it take up to three hours. Wonderful looking finished product, great stability, worth the price.
