the cabinet came packaged well, no damage to any piece even though you could tell by the outside of the box that it had been roughly handled a bit--to be fair, the boxes are very heavy and not easy to move. the quality is what was expected, not beautiful hardwood but the cabinet is solid and will be easy to keep clean with the laminate finish. The assembly instructions were easy to follow and all pieces went together smoothly. Be sure when assembling as a closet that you put the hanging bar into it's slots before you attach the top. only complaint I have, why can't they put easy-release stickers on? every piece has a letter sticker and every sticker leaves a sticky residue!
