It is unreal how heavy the box was, make sure you have help moving it or get room of choice delivery, especially if you are not on the first floor.  It does require two people to put together, but is pretty easy to follow instructions.  Took about an hour with two people and was not particularly frustrating.  I got it to pair with a foam mattress, no box spring and seems to be working out well so far.  It is a bit low to the ground, but I don't mind that.  It is pretty easy to add/ change out curtains since you just have to twist the top knobs off.  Taking one star off because the headboard has a dent but it isn't worth the hassle to return.  My pillows cover the dent thankfully.
