I was initially nervous because as other reviewers mentioned the boxes appeared damaged when they arrived but the packaging is good and there was no damage, maybe the slightest of nicks that is not really noticable. The dresser is very solid, nice looking, drawers work well. I would like it to be a little less distressed, or maybe distressed differently, but that's a personal preference. You can see the original look of the wood on the inside and it's beautiful, it would be nice to see a little more of that. All in all a very solid piece, looks nice, works well, extremely easy to put the legs on. If there was a rating between good and excellent it would have gotten that but excellent seemed a little over the top.
