The bed is beautiful! It arrived in about 7 very long boxes, but wasn't too unwieldy. There wasn't very good tracking info, but it did arrive exactly on schedule. Bed itself was very easy to put together with two people and an electric drill. It's super solid and looks great. Only complaint is that one of the posts on the headboard has holes that have extremely shallow counter sinks, so the screw heads are pretty exposed on profile. This isn't the case on the other side, so it's pretty obviously a manufacturing defect. Not something worth really complaining about since this generally faces the wall anyway. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase, especially considering the price!
