Humidor arrived within a week of being ordered. With the exception of a few barely noticeable dents at the top of the door, it arrived in excellent condition. I let it season for two and a half days before using. Many reviews describe the humidity reaching almost 80% during seasoning process, but mine never went above 74% which was exactly 5% above where I wanted it to be, and it took several hours before it ever got that high. Now it holds an even 69%. At this point, since it holds humidity great and the temp is around 70°, the only time I plug it up is if the temp goes above 72°and I set the thermometer to 69°. I thought I'd come close to filling it up, but I can't fit all of my cigars inside and I mainly smoke robustos so 250 is not an accurate count description; maybe more like 175-200. Overall it'sa good purchase and I will NEVER go back to a wooden humidor.
