Beautiful bed. Comes with plastic over it to protect it. No scratches or dents. Easy to put together. FYI if you put a 12" mattress on it, it covers part of the headboards design. Not a big deal, just wish it was taller. They called me only one day before shipment to my house instead of the two it says. They had only one guy to carry a huge, super heavy king size bed frame though so my dad had to help him.
