Well packaged. Arrived ahead of schedule! and in great shape. Color is sort of a dull white - a bit darker than I expected from the photo, but it works. It has a "distressed" look about it that goes well with my decor.  Coat hooks are sturdy and I've been hanging bags of things from them with no worries. Surprisingly, there were no hooks or nails for hanging. Luckily, hubby is handy and had what we needed to hang it up. It's heavier than it looks. 

Pros: Love the chalkboard and place to pin messages. 
Cons: No mounting hardware in box.
