This arrived extremely well packaged, and nothing was damaged. Directions were mostly clear but there was some confusion as sometimes it was a little hard to make out what the illustrations were implying, for example if something needed a dowel, etcetera. The doors were hard to align perfectly, so I did give up and am embracing the slight unevenness. Everything looks really nice and it has a surprising amount of storage and space. There is a shorter shelf area and I was surprised (most) of my coffee and tea mugs fit there. We were able to fit in a lot of drink glasses, as well. I’m not certain how waterproof the top will be so I would caution on the side that it is not, and to promptly wipe up any spills. It is perfect for this little area.
