It was packaged so well I wish I had purchased the white glove service as it's a very heavy piece.  It also has the glass shelves boxed and attached under the unit with a separate bag stapled to the bottom with the shelf supports.  It's so heavy and big I had to get help to get them out.  But all the packaging uncovered an absolutely perfect and beautiful piece of furniture.  I love the sliding door and am sure it will help keep the dust out plus it gives a clearer view of what's held inside without all the wood framing that traditional doors require. I was afraid the sliding door might tilt the unit at first (when opening) but once the shelves are in place it feels much more secure (and I did have it attached to the wall).  I love it.  (Oddly, my placement of it is very much like the one in the picture above, with it on a wall by a hallway and a picture to the left.  Only my walls are a pale peach.  It also matches my cherry dining room furniture to a tee!
