The packing stated that it was a bed. The delivery men said that often used items are often packed in old packing. I am not convinced but the bed does seem to be the one I ordered. It is too much of a bother to change it. My daughter bought a  bed from you and the bottom headboard is definitely higher than mine, I do prefer hers but at 81 years old it is too much for me to dismantle the bed and exchange it.
