This bed came in 5 boxes which made it easier to carry. I purchased the twin in white, put it together myself fairly quickly. A few years ago this would have been a bigger challenge but over the years I've mastered most "assembly required projects" on my own. Holes lined up, nothing was missing, instructions were semi easy to follow. The headboard feels solid and the kids have already used the trundle. I recommend a 6" or 8" foam or a 6" regular mattress for the trundle. I bought the 6" foam

Pros: very affordable, semi easy to assemble for 1 person
Cons: quality isnt the best buy still very nice, no complaints
