Although heavily padded and boxed, the parts arrived with some wood chipped, and some cracked paint in conspicuous places.  I wanted bookcases with moveable shelves, but only 2 of the upper 4 could actually move, and even then the holes for shelf pins were several inches apart; much more than the standard 1 or 2 inches, limiting height options.  Still, the design is nice, they're solidly built, and even empty they look good in the den.
