Bed came in good condition and was pretty easy to put together. It took us a total of 3 people to put it together because of having to hold certain parts while attaching others. You could do it by yourself if you are skilled at holding multiple things at once but I wouldn't recommend it. After putting my box spring and mattress on the bed it evens out with the foot board which I don't really like. Overall it's nice and works for what it is.

Pros: looks nice, easy to put together, 
Cons: need 3 people to put it together, foot board is equal to mattress with box spring
