Have been eyeballing this item for several months, and finally purchased it. Item arrived in 3 separate boxes. One for the hutch, one for the counter top, and one for the base cabinet. Items were well packed, and labeled perfectly. While I've read many reviews with people with broken parks, I had no pieces that were broken. Some of the pieces did have a little paint rubbed off, but a black sharpie fixes that quite easily. Assembly took about 2 hours by myself. Instructions were a little vague, but if you are mechanically inclined, it is easy to figure out. As others have said, the magnets on the hutch cabinets are strong, and takes a little effort to open them up. The door actually flexes quite a bit before they open up. I was able to adjust the magnets back a little bit, which has made them a little easier to open. I am completely satisfied with this purchase. It has added a great amount of storage for my drinking paraphernalia.
