I was totally amazed that there was no damage at all from shipment...I just assumed there had to be some damage, but there wasn't.  Shipper called in advance and scheduled a drop off.  It is worth having the furniture delivered to the room and the cost for that extra delivery.  Furniture (entertainment center) was very high quality and beautiful.  It is built very sturdy and looks great in our living room.  We were very hesitant in buying furniture on line, but Wayfair was the only option for the style and color (white) we wanted to match our decor.  We are 100% satisfied with this purchase and will look at buying more from Wayfair in the future.
