The bed came very well packed. The end of the box was ripped open when it arrived, but still, everything seemed to be there and nothing damaged. I was able to put it together by myself. My knees aren't the best so I used a small bench to sit on and just moved it around to the corners. I followed the instructions that came with it. It's definitely solid wood and really sturdy. I wish it had a headboard but I can easily build one for it. The mattress is a 14 in box mattress from Costco and the rug I purchased from Home Depot (came in 3 days vs the 2 weeks shipping was going to take).
Great bed
