SHIPPING: lightening fast, arrived two days after ordering.
PACKAGING: Well packaged, no notable damage with one minor issue: the magnet that holds the cabinet door shut, the plastic on one side cracked off from the mount, easily fixed.
QUALITY: very heavy and sturdy, solid wood (not sure what kind, but for my needs doesn't really matter) much better than expected. Legs are heavy metal-if placing on hardwood floors would need pads.
APPEAL: matter of taste of course, but distressed look is tastefully done and complements a variety of decorating styles.
FUNCTIONALITY: shelves on the inside of the door hold regular size books, always a plus!
