Received promptly, very well packaged, very sturdy. I always tear off a fresh piece of packing tape to grab any little stray styrofoam pieces...saves much clean-up. Im a 75 year old widow whose sil would have put together for me, but I like to do what I can while I still can! I put the whole thing together by myself, but I wont admit how long it took me! Rested here and there as ol Arthur was acting up. There were some challenges, but thought through them as I remembered what my late husband-woodworker had taught me. The one thing I could not do myself is to lift the top unit high enough to fit on bottom unit. As I didnt think my next door neighbor would like to be called at 4:00 am (Im a night owl, not by choice) I just stood the top unit against a wall, cleaned up, called him at noon. He came over, we lifted it into place, and attached the four bolts, whalla! Done. Customer service was great and prompt. I was missing a few wood plugs and they graciously sent them out promptly. Ive seen this particular one at over twice the price elsewhere and thought I could never afford it and who doesnt prefer solid hardwood! When I found this on at this current price, couldnt place the order soon enough. I love that there is room underneath for a shoe tray...dont want shoes in the storage bench getting it dirty. I love it, couldnt be happier with it, looks very high end. Got the cherry. Terrific value!
Absolutely love it!!
