Delivered in four boxes. No scratches, scuffs, or other damage. A big thank you to the reviewer who mentioned two different sets of legs based on trundle usage. Saved us from major headache. Also, if using with trundle, legs must be offset from center. I think overlooking this detail caused some bad reviews. My 15 year old son assembled it by himself with the tools it came with in about two hours. I highly recommend power tools if possible. A couple of bolts wallowed out a bit, and by the time he finished, the wrench looked like it had been chewed. The bed looks great. Sturdy enough for son, friend, and dog to pile in together, which amounts to about 300 lbs total. No groans or squeaks. Doesnt wiggle or sway. He did not screw down the slats to the bed frame because the finger (comb) joints in the piece of wood that supports the slats werent perfect. One side had shorter fingers than the other, leaving small triangular voids. Son didnt really want to fight with the screws, I think. On the trundle, two of the threaded sleeves began working their way out of the wood as he turned the bolts. Not enough to cause problems, and easily remedied with a pair of pliers while turning bolts. Trundle does not close flush to side board of frame, but if it did, you wouldnt be able to access the finger grips to pull trundle out. So there is a lip of overlap where the trundle meets the bed. Not a problem for us. Small issues, but I almost spent double the amount on a similar bed that didnt look as nice as this one. Very pleased overall.
Perfect
