The first 3 boxes arrived first and the 4th box came a few days later (I think it's because they're different size boxes). The assembly definitely took a while but pushing through can be done in a day (my husband and I are intermediate level builders for these types of projects). My 11 year old daughter also helped (she is also intermediate skill level). Once it's done it's beautiful. The drawers are slightly smaller than expected but still hold quite a bit. The stoppers for the night stands are just little wooden dowels so if they fall out we may use some wood glue but so far is holding. Once together it is quite heavy. Don't try to move it on your own. My husband was stubborn and pulled his groin . The frame is super sturdy! We have a memory foam mattress and my husband is NOT a small man but he is not snoring nearly as loud as before. I think the support is helping with that! Overall very happy with this purchase.
Very Supportive Frame!
