The photo is of the disassembled double-size bed. Assembling the bed is very easy and only takes a few minutes. I don't have the space indoors now to put it together or I would have taken a photo of it assembled. The long pieces are the structural supports onto which the mattress (or futon) platform slots into the long supports. (which you can see from the bundle of smaller pieces in the photo fold up in a roll-top fashion and the pieces are all attached together). The small bag contains the 9 feet for the long cross-supports. The style is "Japanese-like". The design allows you to take the bed apart and easily store it in a closet. Does not come with any futon. Shipping/insurance dextra, if applicable.
