The shipping was very fast. It was packed very well. It was packed in a box inside a box and tightly secured in styrofoam and cardboard blockers. That was the difficult part. Unwrapping it. It is already assembled and very sturdy. The drawers are a little rough when pulling them out and a tad bit loud but I guess with use that will fix itself. I’m very pleased with my purchase no dints. They also came with some wipes to wipe off smears. They are taller than I thought too. I have a king size bed with a box spring on legs and the stands are even with the bed. I like and my son now wants them in his room.
