Wayfair shipping: I placed the order on Friday w/the estimate delivery date on Tue. And guess what? It was delivered the nxt day! Packaging is not huge but heavy (90lbs). Definitely need 2 people to carry inside. 
Assembly: Fairly easy w/clear instructions. We didn't use any additonal tools other than the one came w/it, & it came out sturdy. From start to finish takes less than 2 hrs.
Bed: It is sturdy,not shakey. Color is exactly as shown & fabric is nice. We put our 13 inch Beautyrest mattress & can still see the headboard. 
Overall, I am really satisfied & would definitely recommend.
