This beautiful set arrived approximately two weeks after placing the initial order. It was delivered in a number of boxes (about 8), with a total weight of about 800lbs. For the most part, the set is already assembled. However, we removed the drawers to ease the process of transporting to our bedroom. One night stand did arrive damaged, a ding on the corner, and you can tell on the box where the damage occurred but Great Offer Stock will replace (thank you). Please please please measure your space and outline/map out the size of each item in your space. The items included in this set are grand, especially when you add the legs and may crowd your space. For example, the headboard is nearly 5 feet tall. With a box spring and 14 inch mattress we have to literally hop on and off the bed. Overall, the set is of good, sturdy quality, great dark cherrywood hue, drawers are pretty deep, and it arrives assembled. Again, just make sure to measure!
