Product came well packaged.  My husband even said some might say it was over protected with all the packaging.  Easily assembled in about 30 minutes or less.  Very sturdy.  Great finish and color.  A lot of the Styrofoam pieces stuck to the crib and needed to be wiped down.  My husband did think there was a piece on the backboard and he picked at it to get it off and he dug into the finish.  No damage in shipping, but damage by husband in less than an hour.  No big deal.  Some touch up paint will fix that.
