I am not surprised that this came with damage, but that it was missed when being packed is pretty odd, it's very obvious damage, and w/ packing and where this was positioned in the box, did not happen during delivery. While it's not enough to warrant a return, and we are past our allotted time, anyway, we had to do some reinforcing, and also had to repair a cracked support bar on the sofa. I'll be contacting Wayfair for a partial refund/courtesy discount for this. 

Pro-Tip: If you buy this, use wood glue to reinforce the structural integrity. These are nice, but they are cheaply made.
