Not a single ding in the wood! This bed was packaged so well! It took my husband and I about 30 minutes to put the bed together once we got it out of the box. The instructions were decent although there were a couple of times we hesitated to follow them. Beautiful color and excellent quality. My only complaint is that we can’t see the wood headboard when we have all our blankets and pillows on the bed. It’s sturdy and I would recommend it. Heads up, the box it’s shipped in is HEAVY!
