Exceeded all our expectations. We thought we had ordered the wrong thing when it was first delivered as the box was so small but all the pieces were neatly packed inside the headboard - genius idea. We opened the box downstairs and carried the pieces upstairs as we needed them. The instructions were easy to follow, and each piece was well made and looked a good quality. Assembly took about 30 mins (two of us) and no additional tools were needed. Very sturdy and really pleased with the bed. I can't believe how good it is for what we paid.
