Was concerned about damage from shipping, but arrived in excellent condition except for a small scratch inside that is not visible.  It was obviously not a damage from shipping.  It was bigger in person, but not big enogh to prevent it from passing through the bedroom door.
Overall, it is exactly as expected.  The convenience of moving the bed from bedroom to living room was priceless.  We dont use the baby monitor much as the baby is always nearby.  Assembly was easy enough and the final product is sturdy enough.  My baby is only 10 weeks now, but there is still plenty of room to grow.  I am thinking it will be good for the first year.  Highly recommended.
