There were pieces of the foot board that were split when we opened the packaging and one of the drawer was broken. Luckily my husband is handy and we were able to come up with fixes. The other issue was that the bed is very wobbly. Every time my son would turn over the entire bed would shake and items on the headboard would fall over. Again thankfully my husband is handy and was able to put extra supports in and anchored it to the wall. I would not recommend this bed to friends and family.
