Had to have this bed - and after being on back order - the opportunity finally happened!  I purchased this beauty.  It was packed tighter than a steel drum and almost took me an hour to unwrap everything and get it all sorted.  Allen wrench was included.  In less than one hour, I assembled this bed (a California king) frame all by myself.  The only tricky bit was attaching the foot board (which I propped between 2 bedside tables).  Very pleased thus far with the bedframe, assembly, packaging, and delivery.  Lord willing, it will hold up for years to come!
