Small box, weird to think it's a whole bed.  But two people and a blanket to stop stuff from rolling as you setup.  Box supplies everything else.  For price point I was expecting something different, but it's very sturdy.  It took two people about an hour from unboxing to setup.  Insofar as craftsmanship, it was in good shape of the 30 screws, only one hole wasn't properly drilled.  And to be honest,  I couldn't get it to fit without a power drill, which wasn't happening.  My bed is 4 layers of latex so it isn't the easiest or lightest bed to move.  In fact it still requires a box spring, so we setup w the 11" floor clearance rather than the 13" we wanted to store underneath.   It looks nice, is sturdy,  but we haven't done more than sleep in it for a week. I'd recommend if your not looking to spend a lot.
