Looks great. No damaged pieces. Other than the slats under the mattress, everything is supposed to be put together with an allen key. I used a drill. It would take forever without one. There were 3 holes that hadn't been pre-drilled properly and had to be done before the screws would go in fully. This added quite a lot of time to the process. Took 2 people about 3.5 hours to put together. Other than the pre-drilling issues, I was very easy to do..... with a drill!! Looks great. Lots of room between beds, I even have a 11" mattress on the bottom and there's just enough room for me to sit on and read a bedtime story.
