It came fairly well packaged to prevent damage.  It will certainly fulfill the purpose it was purchased for. The top does not open as far as the photo of the item seems to indicate it will, however it is still very usable.  The directions are a little sparse with information, but with attention it wasn't difficult to assemble. The instructions note to NOT fully tighten the bolts as you put it together.  That is important as it allows all the sides (sides, bottom and top) to be fit together square without forcing them. Then all the bolts can be tightened and it's very secure.
