When the package arrived it was nicely packed in double cardboard packaging.  Inside the outer box was styrofoam lining and within that the box containing the cabinet.  The cabinet is beautiful.  I will say that although I expect some variation in color, the color was not in my opinion a washed natural pine as the description states, but more like a mocha color.  Very much a brown color.  However, since this cabinet was going to be in my small hallway outside my bedrooms and bath, and the recently purchased rug from Wayfair was a striped rug, the brown in the rug matches perfectly, so definitely keeping the cabinet.  Aside from the color being off, the cabinet is really nice and well made.
