The outer box had a little damage in shipping, but there was no damage to the product itself. I put it together by myself in about 90 minutes, and due to space I did not add the side pieces, but it seems they can be added later on if needed. It comfortably fit 8 cereal boxes, pasta, granola bars, and other snacks, and the drawer fit plenty of coffee and tea. The top had enough space for a smaller coffee pot, a toaster, and a 12” fruit bowl. This was perfect for our space!
