This bed shipped in one large box.  It was so easy to assemble.  It took my husband and I less than 30 minutes to get unpacked, upstairs and assembled.  The drawers section at the end comes in one piece, so it is straight and drawers work perfectly.  It is sturdy and looks great!  
I love the darker charcoal.  We did buy a 14” foam mattress, so the bed isn’t really as low as it could be.  
Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.  Highly recommend.
