The product was packaged extremely well for delivery, there was no damage during shipping. I was worried about the table being easily scratched due to the fact it’s made of solid wood but I don’t find that to be the case. It smells like gorgeous fresh wood and it looks great in my space. It did take me three hours to put together by myself though (but the instructions are very straightforward...there’s just over 100 screws and it comes in 25 pieces), and it’s very heavy.
