Packed great, no damages in shipping. However, assembly was really difficult. Instructions were confusing and twice we had to disassemble & reassemble. It took two of us about 5 hours and we have assembled furniture many times before. Doors were a nightmare to attach but we finally got them on but can’t adjust them so there are some gaps. It’s for our bedroom so was not really concerned about small issues. Overall, it’s very nice and just what we were looking for. Very sturdy once back was put on. Love the fireplace!
