Terrific little end table. Looks GREAT, using it in a very small space as a TV stand. I really like this style of furniture but I can't afford the "real" thing, but this looks like it cost a lot more. It is typical of the lower priced furniture trade where the drawer is not on a smooth runner but that's okay, I never expected it for the price, but the look is wonderful for my Chinese-themed den. It was packaged in two boxes (one exterior for shipping, lined with styrofoam, then the box which contained the unit, which was lined inside and out with styrofoam). There was no damage as reported by other purchasers. I will be looking for a few more bits and pieces from this manufacturer now that I know that the look I am after is so reasonably priced.
