This item comes in three heavy boxes. There are many parts and pieces to assemble. Separate screws, pins, brackets, all in little cups to start. Make plenty of extra room where your pieces are, it is going to get messy fast. In the end you will get a nice product. It takes more than one person to built this bed. It would be great if they actually show you step by step but they leave some steps out, and leave too many in. The bed alone took 3 hours, not to mention I have not started on the draws yet. It is very sturdy and very heavy furniture. If you have hardwood floors use the slide guides for heavy furniture to move this unit. If you drink beer it will take a lot longer to complete.
