This bed is awesome. It came in 2 big boxes but both came separate. From the few reviews I read people said its low and they were not lying! It took me a while to put it together but with the help of my friend we got it. The instructions that came with with it did confuse me but when I looked online here to see how to put everything together it was a little easy. I enjoy it and my old mattress I used was perfect and had a little extra space.
