Wonderful platform bed! All natural wood..smells nice. Had no problem putting it together. Instructions were easy to follow. It arrived in one box: 79 1/2" L x 9" W x 5" D. The wood pieces were neatly stacked and wrapped in plastic on the inside. I used a 10 1/2" memory foam gel mattress on the bed frame. With the mattress on the frame it's 24" from the ground to the top of the bed. Thank you Wayfair for great service!
