Well, I received bed quickly last week and just set it up last night by myself(67yof). Was not hard to do but the caps that screwed together to hold head and footboard together were beastly. Finally got it and it is a little small height wise (mattress covers footboard completely) but I like it for now. Later will get a taller one. All pieces plus few extras and it was packaged most securely. Impressed with that, as much of time things arrive after a beating on transport. This is second time I have ordered and will not hesitate to order again. Quality is good. Thanks Wayfair!
