The delivery itself arrived in a fairly compact size. The assembly... it was quite difficult to push it all the way in, and I think it took me 2 or 3 minutes to assemble it by myself... I guess I'm a bit clumsy. Some parts go in with a light push, but there were also places that I had to work really hard to get them in. The product itself has four bars, with two on each side, and I hang the futons for two people on each side. If you hang them on one bar, the side that is inside will stick together, but if you hang them on two bars and open them up a little, air will flow through the inside, and things like futon covers will dry quickly. It takes up a lot of space, but I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to dry their futon properly. Until I got it, I left my futon pulled out, but when I got into bed at night, I was horrified to find that the floor was a little warm. (I guess it must be really humid.)
