I was soo excited to get my new bed.  Let me tell you though, it takes at least two to three people to carry this into the house because it's heavy!  If your putting it together yourself, the instructions and the numbering of the items made it really easy to put together.  They even gave you an Allen wrench and a ratchet style Allen wrench which made it even easier to put together.  You di need two people to do the job.  After it was all put together I added my mattress and it looks great!  I love it, very sturdy.
