This bed is so nice!!! Once put together it's very sturdy, no moving or shaking, and beautiful. I was not able to move the 2 boxes it shipped in alone, but I was able to put it together as a smaller woman by myself with no issues. It just took like 4 or 5 hours, so if you're brave it's totally possible. I was pleased that for the high price everything looks and feels very high quality, highly recommend this bed.
