well packed however still hacen damaged, which tells me the damage was from the manufacturing. 

It looks really nice but creaks, and it’s wobbly. 

It also has a pretty strong toxic smell, we left the windows in the room opened so it would off gas  for 24 hours but the smell is still so strong you definitely cannot sleep on it. We chose this base because it’s supposed to be solid wood, but I guess the wood is still heavily processed.
We are so disappointed as we really liked the looks :(
