We ordered the whole bed (as opposed to headboard only), and it came in about 3 big boxes. The instructions were manageable for me and my husband, and we put the bed together in a little over an hour. It was exactly as advertised on the site, and we've been very happy with it. We've had it now for about 6 months, and it still looks brand new. I'm finally free of the dust ruffle! Would definitely recommend. We got the grey linen bed.

Pros: Easy assembly, color is true, looks expensive
