The packaging was secure everything was protected. The directions were clear.   I noticed the hardware was in a labeled blister card with extra just in case. The parts were super simple to unbox. My daughter and I have been impressed with the ease of assembly.   This bed took about 45 minutes to put together directly from the box.  It turned out beautifully and will effortlessly break back down when moving!  Im pleased with this purchase. Will buy it again!
