The item was shipped in two boxes. We received both boxes. The item was missing several important parts, making the bed frame unusable. If the company replaces them quickly, I will revise this review.
I contacted Wayfair the same day as my initial post. I contacted them via the web-chat and they ordered the missing components. They arrived about 9 days later. The assembly was rather easy and took about 30 minutes. I'd recommend having someone assist as you have to hold the side bars at a level angle in order for the screws to go in correctly.

Overall the bed is a good value. It seems sturdy and matched the description of a platform bed. We are using a low profile box spring and standard mattress. You don't need a box spring and even the low profile one makes the mattress sit a little high against the headboard, but not to a disturbing degree.
