Shipping:  The furniture actually shipped sooner than I had expected (that's a first!).  Shipping package was dinged up but the furniture looked great.  

Furniture:  This piece holds a lot of dishes and I can tell that it would work great as an entertainment center too with the glass doors.  Construction is sturdy.  Only real con is that it took significant time to put together.  Well worth the effort though, especially at this price point.
