Box came in good condition.  Fairly easy to put together.  I love the color!  So far very sturdy.  Perfect for my bedroom.  I love that the slates have velcro on them to keep from sliding an also to allow for easy disassemble, but would perfer if I could screw them down.  Other than that I really like this bed.  The price was reasonable as well.  I am very picky about my bedframes so it took me a long time to choose one and I am glad I did!  No box spring needed and the headboard can be adjusted to the height you want it.
