A lot of pieces, but everything came together well. There were a few dents to the corner of the boxes upon delivery, which translated into slightly crushed particle board corners, but not so bad that I had to returnexchange it. 

Drawers are very useful in a small bedroom. Note: if you are planning on using bed side tables, the third drawer near the top of the bed will not pull out. 

Overall, good, cheap compromise for my guest bedroom.
