the crate reached here 4/22/16 . its looks strong and sturdy. but the shape the shipping box looked its a wonder it was all broke  up with opened holes in the box. but as far as i know the crate is not damaged , even the pan looks great. that box looked like it went threw world war 3 ... I still have to put it together. but it doesn't look damaged. i put it together its just excellent  love it
