It arrived in 3 rather large boxes and required some assembly, but was actually quite easy to put together.  I purchased the queen sized frame which included additional supports for the middle of the bed (something I hadn't seen before).  My old box frame was beginning to sag in the middle and my wife & I were always waking up in the middle of the bed.   This extra support (along with my new box frame and mattress now provide us with the most peaceful and restful sleep we have ever had!  The frame is beautiful (the picture simply doesn't do it justice) and quite sturdy. 

Pros: Suprizingly quick delivery; Easy assembly;  Quality Materials;; additional assembly screws & nuts; well designed.
Cons: The bed frame supports are cups rather than on caster wheels, making the bed somewhat difficult to move  in the event you get the itch to change the layout of your bedroom... Something my wife does  quite often
