We just put this bed together so I have no idea how well it will stand up to normal use yet, but I have to say the packaging and assembly are extremely well thought out. I would have to rate the packaging a good 6 out of 5 stars. The cardboard container arrived with some minor damage, but the product itself had no damage at all. It was well packed in styrofoam. The styrofoam pieces themselves are enclosed in plastic so there is no mess to clean up when youre done with assembly. All the hardware (screws, washers, etc) are shrink wrapped onto a cardboard square so you can see at a glance if all the pieces are there. They even supply a small ratcheted allen wrench which speeds up assembly considerably. I had only some minor problems with two of the pre-drilled holes being just slightly mis-aligned, but with a little stretching I was able to get the screws in. I may be back to add to this review after weve had the bed for awhile, but so far Im impressed.
