The sleigh bed arrived with no damage from shipping.  All hardware was included. Assembly was easy, although due to the size of the bed, I would suggest having 2 people available when you put it together.  I was disappointed to find that a crack in the wood on the headboard had a repair under the paint, and the filler had not been smoothed out very well, and not primed, so the paint over the repair is not the same sheen and noticeable.  Since the area was small, I am ok with it.  Otherwise, I love the look of it.
