It's a pretty pricey buy for a chip board bed. We splurged thinking it was real wood. IT IS NOT REAL WOOD PANELS. The bed comes in two packages (one for the headboard and one for the floating frame. Both are pretty heavy! Ask a friend to help when moving! Also... you should pull out all the screws and identify them before hand. We made the mistake of using longer screws in the headboard and put 4 holes right through it! I'd be upset, but our mattress is so high that you can't see the damage after the bed is made. If you move, it's pretty heavy and you might not be able to disassemble it easily. Last thing: IF BY CHANCE you mess up assembling the headboard like we did, you can always buy some cheap thin panels and wood glue them to cover up the mistake ;) I still love the bed.
