Arrived in two, very well-packaged boxes. Easy to assemble; no extra tools necessary. 

For the price paid, I am disappointed with the paint nick on the back rail, the non-flush-fitting side rail and the 4 large metal washers on the sides that don’t match. 

That being said, I absolutely LOVE the style of this daybed. Is perfect for a young girl’s bedroom and is just what I was looking for.
