Pleasantly surprised with the quality. Very heavy and pretty big (would suggest 2 people to carry the box). All parts were intact with no damage. The lift-top came already installed, all that was left is screwing in the legs and handles making setup easy. Note the legs are only painted gold, there is no metal cap as I believed from the pictures. This may be an advantage as you can paint them black and replace the faux drawer handles if you want another color, I’ve thought about doing silver instead. Lift top can be raised with 1 hand though is easier with 2 closing it, it doesn’t “slam” down but it isn’t a total soft-close, I usually guide it down. Tons of storage overall I’m very satisfied.
