The shipping box was a little dinged up and i was fearful the contents were banged up, but all was well.  This bed seems well engineered there are lots of supports, and constructed in such a way I think a heavy person could plop down on it without bending the frame.  I liked the plastic pieces placed on the bottom of the legs to protect the floor from scratching.  On the con side, I dont care for the silver hardware that shows very apparently looking at the bed, a little tacky to me and I dont recall seeing any ugly screws looking at the catalog on line.  No missing pieces, it fit together well.  A good purchase.
