Arrived on time, 2 seperate boxes. Very easy to assemble (2 people).  It is a little more blue-grey than in the pic .Full bed does have center support and slats are screwed down, which is great so they dont move around with mattress. Slats are thick and supportive. The bed is about 1 inch too wide on both sides of the mattress but it would allow to tuck a comforter into the sides if need be. Good looking bed, especially for the price.
