I feel like I'm a pretty strong 56 year old woman, but the box for the full bed/twin trundle was 75 pounds so I just opened it in the garage. It took me 8 trips to bring all of the pieces up the stairs to the room on my 2nd story. I put the bed together in about an hour and a half by myself. It's straight forward if you follow the instructions. As the instructions say, do NOT tighten everything until you get it all put together. It needs just a little wiggle room to fit everything together. But I tightened it all up at the end and am very happy with the finished product. One of the main spokes did come damaged but it's on the back side. I have bought iron beds before and this one was a little pricier than I've spent in the past. I would also say that the "whiteis not as white as pictured on the picture. It is definitely more of a creamy white or almost beige. It doesn't go with the other stark white furniture I have in the room, but oh well.
Easy assembly just takes a while
