It comes unassembled in one box. It would be best to put it together in the room it will be used in.

It comes boxed in a narrow box about 1 ft across and its full length of 6+ ft. Taking the box up a narrow staircase should be just file. But you will need about 5-6 ft of clear floor space where you intend to assemble it.. Good luck!

It comes unassembled. The length of the box is the length if the bed but the width is less than half of the assembled width. I had to go up a narrow staircase as well- I found it easier to take the pieces out if the box and carry them individually (partly because the weight of the whole was heavier than I could carry on my own). It is easy to put together as well.

I had some guys put mine together for me so I don't have first hand knowledge of how easier or hard it was or if there were missing parts etc. They advertise that you can buy two and stack themin a staggered fashion I think. Not sure how they would fit together as I only bought one.

Yes, this comes in a box much smaller than box springs. But how will you get a mattress up the stairs? Unless you get a mattress in a box...

Mine was delivered straight to my door -- but I can tell you that it's rather a large box and it is a little unwieldy. If you're strong, you can probably manage it. But if you're smaller and/or not especially strong, it might be a challenge. I recommend two people or a dolly.

Hello, When this item arrives to you, this is something that is not fully assembled. The legs are detached and should take off a few inches from the item. You should be able to push this through from its side. Thanks

It fits inside my daughters queen sized sleigh bed. We moved and due to the slant of our stair case the movers could not get her queen sized box spring up the stairs but the mattress which bends unlike the box spring did fit. This item actually sits inside her current sleigh bed frame (four wooden parts) and replaced the need for the box spring because of the height the mattress actually sits on top of platform. It eliminates the need for both the box spring which was too large to fit up the stair case due to an awkward slant and the traditional metal frames/wood slats that would normally support the box spring and mattress. What we essentially have is a queen sleigh bed, with this product sitting inside it, and the mattress on top.

It DOESN'T have to be perfectly straight, however, you should line it up with whatever the angel of your entryway/stairs for it to be effective. What I mean is, you can't make it go diagonally across your bottom stair (that's what the instructions say. Mine is slightly askew and it works just fine because there is still solid ground beneath it. I could see a kiddo sneaking under if it were diagonal over a lil open point.) hope that's helpful.

You will need someone to help. The top section comes in one box and the bottom in another. You essentially have to put everything together ... from attaching the structural pieces together down to assembling the drawers and attaching the metal handles. Its a great piece but it is somewhat time consuming to assemble. Its fairly straight-forward as each big piece has a sticker with a letter on it and the hardware comes together without much force. I do recommend the product but, like I said, you will need someone to help you with assembly and even moving the boxes into your house when they arrive. You will need someone to help.

I would say it is a combination of the reasons Amy and Cheryl gave. Although it fits snugly, it is possible to move the gate given a moderate amount of force. Plus the need to lift a foot to depress the foot pedal, could result in a very unbalanced step through, and potential fall when combined with the top step of a stairway.

I have a total of four units. Two without doors on the outside & two with doors in the middle. If you have both sets of doors open, the door fronts can hit one another... that's to be expected though & the issue can be eliminated by opening one cabinet unit at a time. The hinges do not hit. Mine are on carpet so it was tough to level them. The trim molding on the top edge isn't perfect so you can tell it's more than one unit. I may put one single trim board across all four at the top, middle & bottom to give the illusion it's one unit rather than four. Your concern will not be an issue though. Good luck!!

This one was pretty rigid. It is not thick so it does have a little bend, however depending on the curvature of the door - I would search for a product from that door MFG.

It's hard but I did it myself. You put one end with the string on against the floor then lean on and bend the other end pulling the string around when close enough. Too hard to explain they have videos on YouTube just watch one you will get it

I've been able to move it without taking it apart. At my old house it went through doorways fine. Where I'm living now the hallway is too narrow so I can't quite make the turn. I don't move it often, but I can move it by tipping it on its side. Not super convienient, but not bad. And like I said, the problem is our hall, not the door frame itself.

Yes, it actually comes apart. After a lot of debate from the delivery service amazon uses, I got it delivered to my third story condo (all stairs, no elevator) and it came in a box. Upon delivery it was less than a foot thick. Maybe 7-8 inches. A little awkward to carry down stairs but def realistic.

Don't know if you got my response, was trying to do it from my cell phone.The unit they sent me was suppose to have a 1 /12" thick platform, but was only 1". Amazon resent it, but unit was still the same. Talked to people at everlast, and they said the model I recieved was the only one they manufacture. The wood cross slats are smaller than what is pictured. actual size is 3/4" x 1 1/2". Logo is black only, no yellow like picture.If you mount the unit, you will need to add 1/2" filler behind the cross slats. If not, you won't be able to turn the adjustment knobs, as they will interfere with the wall. The unit does come with a decent swivel.

The box arrives in several pieces, and you do have to assemble things like the base, drawers, etc. Beware that the boxes are HEAVY and if you're going upstairs, you will likely need some assistance! I am a grown man and still needed some help! Additionally, you can disassemble the unit if you need to remove it.
