Arrived in two boxes. Headboard has a secret compartment, on the back, to hold some of the parts (for shipping purposes) but this area also becomes a good place to stash the instructions and tools after the bed is put together. I took it slow and the bed was completely put together in about two hours.It would have gone a lot faster if I had remembered to charge the battery on my power drill. I used hand tools, though, with no problem. Instructions were easy and all the parts were readily identifiable. Note that once it is put together, you do NOT have to take it totally apart should you ever need to move it. You can, I suppose, but it will be really easy to take off the side rails should we ever need to move it. The bed itself is beautiful, strong and does not need a box spring. Its a great upgrade to our guest room. Ive already recommended it to several people.
Great Value. Good Quality. Happy Customer.
