The quality on this piece is really great compared to a lot of other products I've ordered in the past. It arrived in 3 separate boxes, all extremely heavy. So take that into account when ordering. The packaging was a nightmare to get through, but it was probably necessary to ensure that the pieces didn't get dented, scratched, or broken during transit. I am really pleased with the piece. The instructions are lacking important details, and I even found a few steps that were not technically correct. When you're putting it together - trust your instincts!
