It was packed very good.  One cannot complain about that, and there were no damages from packing or shipping in the entire order of 4 pieces.  The pieces that required no assembly were excellent.  However, this bed requires assembly.  The bed is mostly made from pressed wood (Glued sawdust) and parts of it are assembled with staples.  The parts that were stapled together were separating.  Two of the small wooden dowels that are used to help secure and align the headboard and footboard were too long for the pre-drilled holes.  I cut about 1/8" off of them in order to try to get a close fit.  There is still a gap, but it is barely acceptable.  
This bed is of K Mart quality and  I expected better.  I would not purchase it again.
