I was concerned end when I heard the shipper throw the package on the porch that the bamboo top would be damaged, but it was intact and undamaged. It is just a little taller than counter height with the wheels on. I was going to slide it under the counter when not in use but that won't work. I like it anyway. I think sealing the bamboo would be best with a food grade oil.  I was familiar with they method of construction it is like some shelves that I got from a big box home improvement store. It is nice to have a little flexibility in exactly where to put the shelf, hooks, pull handle. I think it is more sturdy than I anticipated. That is excellent. As with the other two products I purchased as a " newbie " I would rely on the shipping company's tracking and arrival date as more accurate that wayfairs stated arrival date.
