This bed arrived in two boxes, but was well packaged.  We did not experience any issues with damaged pieces.  I wasn't really 100% sure I would like the bed, but once it was put together, I really did like it.  It's very simple with clean lines, and overall very nice looking.  I put it together myself, and it took under an hour, and that was with two kids under 4 trying to help (but really not being very helpful).  This bed was for my almost 4 year old who graduated from a toddler bed.  It's really quite perfect for her.  It's really a great purchase, and seems very sturdy.  We haven't had any issues with it being wobbly or anything.  I'm extremely happy with the bed, and my daughter seems to love it too.
