Packaged well but some boards had some pieces missing from them. It more was an issue with looks and not functionality. Had a few issues putting it together instructions could have been written better.
This bed frame arrived in a long compact box. wasnt really the best packing, each piece was just kind of wrapped with foam and crammed in there.
The first thing that struck me was that the finish had not aired out enough, stain/polyurethane/lacquer or something. So it had a bit of a splotchy finish, and a really strong odor that took about 2 weeks to subside. The wood is mediocre quality, high density particle stuff.
It assembled fairly easily, a few extra screws than I wanted to deal with but hey thats why it is so sturdy. No squeaking or anything.
The mattress/bed slats were really splintery, and while there are holes in them there are none on the sides of the bed to screw them into. The slats are not sufficiently wide enough and barely reach the sides, so you have to drill the holes like 1/8 of an inch from the edge, meanwhile they advise not to drill too close or the wood will split away. I got it to work just barely by only screwing them in just enough. Then I sanded them down so they wouldnt be so splintery.
And only the 4 posts actually have any smooth edges, the rest of them are all rather sharp 90 degrees.
I had thought about returning it but it would have been too much hassle to disassemble and then have to wait again to gamble on a different product.
All those issues aside, it looks good, odor is gone, is sturdy, and squeak free.
I bought this because the description says low VOC. But after 5 weeks out of the box in the garage and one week after assembly in the room. It is still giving off a very obvious smell. Everything else is pretty good.
My husband hates to build anything so I did it all by my self, some holes here a bit too small and had to make them bigger, other than that it was exactly as I measured it. Great size for a small growing boy or a starter bed it held me my 12 year old and my 4 year old at the same time. It does make a bit of noise.

Excellent value
Perfect for what we needed Excellent extra sleep space and storage for my grandbabies.
Use a drill with an Allen wrench attachment
Pretty and inexpensive Takes awhile to pit together but its awesome
Well made and beautiful
Nice mid century look This bed is beautiful, is very well made and Im sure Ill last many years. Is really heavy but I guess thats a good thing.
