I ordered the bed in white, twin.  It arrived on time in a large box, about the size of headboard piece.  My husband put the bed together and complained of the packaging and that it was difficult to open the box without destorying it and the packing foam.  Otherwise he was able to put it together in a reasonable amount of time.  It's very stylish and looks exactly as I thought it would.  My only feedback would be that YOU DO NEED A BOX SPRING with the matress.  I had read several reviews that said you only needed a box spring.  The bed sits pretty low to the ground.  For a child the height would be ok.  I'm using it a small spare bedroom so I wanted something higher.  Also there are slats which make it very uncomfortable for an adult to sleep on without a box spring.  Otherwise it's great! Pros: Color, finish, size, styleCons: Need a box spring for stability & height
