This package arrived well-padded on all four sides. It was quite heavy so I dreaded assembling it.  But turned out so well, and looks so beautiful in the bedroom space (among other salvaged barnwood pieces), that I was glad I'd ordered it.  It is quite a solid piece and a good additional to the rustic-wood bedroom. 

Pros: Beautiful piece for a rustic bedroom.
Cons: Heavy pieces, so more difficult to assemble unless you are very strong.
