This is a nice piece of furniture for the price I paid (flash sale) but the item was received damaged. This was most likely due to shipping because there was a hole in the box where the damage on the product was located. This is inherently a problem with the furniture. Even though this is indeed made of solid wood. The wood is pine, which is a soft wood, and it is susceptible to impressions caused by pressure - like bouncing around a delivery truck. The packaging is so complicated I could not imagine repacking and sending it back due to this damage.
