Many other reviews cited chipped paint and rusty holes, but my bed was pristine and went together without major issues.  I found it odd though that they send fewer hex nuts than they do bolts, and this is according to the packing list, so I have had to go purchase some more in order to secure the cross piece in the center of the bed. Overall, a good product and it goes together tightly with none of the squeaking you often get with metal beds.
