This was just as advertised.  Was very well protected for shipping and had no damage upon arrival.  very sturdy and secure when fully assembled.  Only con would be front drawers are blocked if bed is against a wall and you want to put night tables on either side of the bed.  We used very light and small tables to make it easier to get in and out of those drawers.  Other than that we are very happy with this bed and are looking forward to the entertainment stand we ordered at the same time.
