This bed is delivered in one 35 pound box. The instructions are well written and illustrated - you have to pay attention to the details! The tools that come with it are perfect for the job. There’s a number of small parts to use so being organized and following the directions will make the assembly a bit faster. Some pieces did not fit and just needed a tap of the hammer to fit. I purchased three of these twin beds and I’d say they are very good value for the money. There is plenty of space underneath the bed for storage bins, or a vacuum cleaner to reach under. The low profile of the bed does not consume too much space in a room but still makes a very comfortable bed.
