The box this bed frame comes in is very heavy. I highly suggest opening it where it was delivered and moving the pieces to your desired location rather than having to lift this. Every item was clearly marked. The instructions were pretty clear. My only issue was when putting the middle pieces together. You have to hold the 2 tools simultaneously and it’s rather awkward to get those screws to line up just right. You almost have to be upside down and have your hands twisted to make it work right. If you have a box spring and a mattress, this frame makes the bed very tall. I’m 5 ft 5 and have to muster up a tiny bit of power to get myself in the bed.
