Just what we expected, however on small damage upon delivery. There was a dent in one of the hydroponic hinges (if I can call it that). But the bed was put together within 4.5 hours with quite easily by my boyfriend. He stated that instructions were a tiny bit confusing, but he was able to manage. He is a Carpenter by trade and has put one (not like this though) together about 2 years prior to this one.
