I bought this bed in a Full size to replace my son's twin size "kid bed" and he loves it.  It came in 5 boxes, but I think that was much better than having all of the weight in one box.  The wood is very solid and sturdy and I would have never been able to move a single box with all the contents.  All pieces were in perfect condition and assembly was easy compared to some other furniture pieces I have assembled in the past.  Some reviewers mentioned the drawers being completely separate as a negative, but I find it much better than having drawers on a track system that normally wears out (the previous bed was a captain's bed with 4 drawers and 3 of them had broken off their tracks in just a few years).  So far this seems to be an excellent purchase that will last for years to come.
