Box came with a hole in it, but thankfully no damage to the contents. Easy enough to put together. I have a box frame on top of the wooden slats and it doesn't quite fit perfectly, but neither the box frame nor the mattress slide around so it's fine for now. Fits all my storage bins underneath ( tallest is 13.5") with room to spare, allowing for easy movement of my bins and storage of thinner boxes/other smaller items on top.
