Came in separate boxes for headboard, slats, frame, drawer - labelled outside the box. Slat box was open from 1 end - most likely a shipping mishap. Instructions to assemble the headboard and drawers were clear - was able to assemble this within 3 hours. There was a missing support for slats and back of the headboard was cracked. But overall the frame and the structure was sturdy and strong.  Overall the bed turned out good.
