First, the pkg arrived on time and intact. Second, all the parts were present and undamaged d/t the adequate packaging. Third, the raised bed frame went together easily, even though directions were scant. It was fairly simple when you study a moment about how the pieces are made to fasten together. I got the shorter sided size and glad I did as it will take quite a few wheelbarrows of soil to fill, probably 7 or 8. At $50 bucks or so, it's a good deal.
