The bed was delivered with all the pieces and no damage.  As others have said the bed is tedious to assemble and you have to pay close attention to the pictured instructions.  Assembling the bed was definitely easier with two people.  Once assembled the bed is very sturdy and does not creak.  The wood is soft and will dent.  I like the simple design and will have this bed for many years.  Overall, this bed is a good deal.
