These bunk beds were a much higher quality than I was expecting! They come packaged very well, and for all the pieces, none of them came damaged or blemished for that matter. Only a small scratch here there but nothing worth returning. They put extra wood in cardboard to really make sure it ships well. It is very intimidating when you see all the boxes and on the pieces. I cannot recommend enough using a drill or a bag driver with a torx bit, it will save you loads of time, just be sure to set the torque setting so you do not strip anything. All in all a fantastic bunk bed set, and very high quality. A great value.
