The bed came in perfect condition. It is extremely heavy, so getting in the front door may require two people. It's heavy because it is solid wood. There wasn't a flaw on it, but it was difficult to assemble because it didn't line up easily. Despite the difficulty in assembling this bed, I love it. I bought it for my grandson, and it is 
perfect in his teenage room. The lines are simple, which he likes, and the wood and the finish is gorgeous. We put just one mattress on it, which is all it needs. If you'd like to add two mattresses, that would work out very well. This bed will be around for a long time because it is solid wood and you don't find that too often anymore.
