I bought this hutch for my kitchen because my home is 100 years old and I don't have a lot of cabinet space. It came in two very sturdy boxes and was the best packaged item that I have ever purchased. This company couldn't have done anything better. The hutch and base are sturdy and well manufactured. There weren't any flaws, scratches or any other damage. This arrived in pristine condition. I only needed help lifting and attaching the hutch to the base. It is beautiful and I love it. I could have used something larger, because I have too much stuff. I am thrilled with this purchase.
