This bed, came with all parts and was easy to put together. The box was sturdy cardboard with a few rips but did not mar the pieces inside. The instructions to put this together were easily followed, took about an hour and can be done by one person, but two can do it more easily. I did take the advice of another reviewer and wood glued the wood dowels in place, but I wouldnt go out and buy wood glue to do this, the bolts and screws seem to be enough to make this a sturdy piece of furniture. There was only one long bolt/screw that was hard to screw in by hand, got out my cordless drill with the screw attachment and it went right in. I guess I needed a bit more muscle! The stained wood frame pieces are attractive wood with no obvious flaws. It is an attractive piece of furniture. I am happy with my purchase.
