Arrived on time and fully assembled. Great small sized trunk for blanket storage or shoes that tend to clutter up by the door...especially if you have kids. I am using mine as a hideaway for my textbooks and as an end table by my couch. It was waaaay darker in color than the photo...almost an unfinished walnut...but still pretty. I would buy a larger trunk for coffee table/storage...as this trunk is a little on the flimsy side...definitely will not hold any weight on top other than a few magazines and a small lamp.
