Shipping box had some gouges in it upon arrival. However bed was well packaged & organized. Extra fasteners included. Pictoral assembly instructions included, which were fairly easy to follow. Two person assembly preferred, but could put together with one person. Easy to move & position when assembled. I like the 800lb weight capacity, although we don't need that much. Feels sturdy with mattress (no need for box springs) with good under-bed supports & room for storage. No more noise than a regular bed when tossing/turning.
