We got this for storing firewood and so we weren't expecting it to be perfect. We honestly don't really care what it looks like, but it did arrive with a number of scratches and a lot of dings/dents throughout. Some of the dents made it a little harder than needed to put the thing together. The instructions for this unit are also extremely hard to follow - you never know the direction of the piece so you have to read ahead to figure out how it puts together. If you are looking for something that will look nice and be sturdy to store things needing a lot of protection this is NOT your unit.
