This product took about a month to arrive. So, we live in Alaska and not the lower 48, which may have contributed to the delay. As seen in the photo, the box was beat up well. Yes, all the parts fit in this box that weighed about 85 pounds. It may be best to have some help. I managed to put this together alone; however, when it came to attaching the railings, I had assistance. The product comes tightly packed, although the box was beat up, I uploaded a photo of one of the railings that appears to be bruised. Everything fit and was easy to put together.
Some concerns:
1) the intoxicating smell of the paint. It is cold up here, but if you can unbox and allow the parts to air out for a couple days, that would be helpful. We have an airpurifier running and the smell is still intense.
2) spacing. The top bunk I placed a 10 twin mattress from a warehouse store and on the bottom bunk I have a 7 box in a bed twin mattress. Depending on how tall your children may be, if I put the 10 mattress on the bottom bunk my 4 year old will definitely hit his head. The bunk bed does not split and turn into two twin beds.
Overall, this is a good bed that may last a year unless my 4 year old hits a growth spurt, in which I will have to sell this bed.
Great, but
