The unit was delivered in perfect condition and started up fine after the recommended 24 hour rest period post delivery. We cannot comment on durability as it has only been running for a few days but no issues so far. In general we are happy with the looks, construction quality and noise level. Contrary to what some reviewers have said I was able to load 103 bottles in the unit with no trouble. Most of the bottles were bordeaux bottles but I did put burgundy bottles on the top and bottom 3 shelves with out compromising capacity. The only 750 ml bottles that are difficult to work with are the super tall bordeaux bottles and the super fat rhone bottles. Otherwise the capacity of the unit is as described.
