The box arrived very beat up and I was afraid that the bed would be too, but it was well packed and everything was in great shape. Assembly was straightforward and the finished product looks great. The bed feels sturdy and the little tabs to keep the mattress in place work great. I also appreciate that those can be moved or removed as needed. On the whole, this was a great buy and the kiddo is very excited about the new look in his room. ￼￼
