I got this in Oct of 2009. It came in several boxes (2 or 3, cant remember). Everything was very well packaged, no damage, scratches or missing pieces. The assembly took a bit of time as I did it solo. Still, not terrible difficult. I suggest reading the directions before, lining things up and then attaching them. Take your time to make sure that the pieces are facing the right way.
Ive had not a single issue in the year plus Ive been sleeping on it. Its so solid that it hadly creaks when I get into bed. Im not a little guy either.
the drawers I use to store sheets and clothes I dont wear much so Im not using them every day. The only issue I had with them was I over stuffed one and had to refit the bottom into the grooves. SO, I highly recommend using Gorilla glue in all the joints when you assemble the drawers.
One last thing...assemble this in the exact spot where you want it. Its so damn heavy once complete and you can put a ton of stress on the joints if you try to move it and the drawers can be put out of line.
Over all Im very impressed with the product, especially considering the price.
I bought a mattress in a box from another website. Its a king, spring mattress rolled into a small box. Seriously. Its the best mattress Ive ever owned. I got my king bed for well under a grand and its amazing. (I have back issues too!)
No problems, love my bed!!
