My cabinet arrived later than expected due to delays but, when it did arrive, it was in relatively good shape - there was just some wear on the edge of one of the doors. I had read the other reviews saying assembly took a while and was difficult but felt it was actually quite easy, straightforward and took me about an hour. But the doors are difficult to align and it does take some patience to fiddle with the various screws on both door hinges to line them up. The biggest complaint I have is the painted “gold” look of the feet and handles. I know this costs $250, but I’m having to order actual brass handles for $5 each to replace the original ones so the cabinet doesn’t look SO fake. For an extra few bucks, the manufacturer could have elevated the piece significantly by providing decent non-painted brass handles.
