Great bed!! Upholstery and velvet are of a higher quality. It arrived in three boxes, it does take two people to remove the contents. For the most part I was able to assemble this without my husbands assistance. I will tell you, when it comes to attaching the legs it does take two people. I was able to prop the footboard onto a stool to offer assistance but extra  hands are easier. There were two holes that were not bored out properly and I had to improvise with wood screws and my drill. Oh, and don’t tighten the bolts that attach to the side rails and footboard until you’re putting the legs on. If the side rails and footboard aren’t completely level, the legs won’t stand straight. But seriously, a fabulous bed and the cost is great when compared to other velvet beds!! We are so happy with our purchase.
