I absolutely love this bed! It arrived in one (large and heavy) box but it arrived quickly and I was amazed at how well packed it was. The assembly was easy and didn’t seem to take my husband too long to do. The actual bed itself it so sturdy!! It is very well made. The storage box at the end of the bed is quite large and works out perfectly for getting shoes on or for dogs to lay on. Our dogs love it! I 100 recommend this bed!
