Box came kinda beat up, but the only parts with any damage were the drawer bottoms. They each had a corner where the black surface was damaged. They were easily faced down where the damage was not noticeable. The main crib pieces were nicely finished. The drawer is small, however I didn't care one way or the other about it and may not really use it. I wanted a black crib with a little style that wouldn't break the bank. This fit that description perfectly. Seems sturdy and well put together.
