The easiest piece of furniture I have ever had to put together. However, I got the queen sized frame and the box it was shipped in is VERY heavy. You will need at least 2 strong people to get it up to a walkup. The bed frame itself is very sturdy, but not as heavy the packaging had led me to believe. No dents or scratches on the bed when it arrived though, so the packing did very much protect it. Will consider this brand again in the future.
