My sister paid $1000.00 2 years ago with shipping for this bed. I paid $150 at the same time for a new mattress. My son has slept twice in the bed since it was new, he now wants a different set up. This is for local pick up. I will not ship it! You must bring a truck and some help to dismantle and load in to your truck/van. I had fun putting it up, you get the fun of taking it down. This is a very SOLID bed/computer desk. Please go to link below for item description.
