The bed came in 2 boxes....which made it easier to carry into the house. The instructions are very clear. It took my husband and I about an hour to put it together. The quality of the bed is great. Love the color and fabric. The color looks just like the picture.  Some reviewers mentioned about the smell....I understand what they mean....there is a slight smell but I think it's just from being boxed up and should disappear. Overall great bed for the price!
