Package arrived within 3 days and was undamaged. The color is a creamy white with a rich walnut color top that works well with our decor. 

There are A LOT of pieces to this crate and it took 2 of us nearly 3.5 hours to assemble it. It was not too difficult although there was one point where we had to rotate the instruction manual to orient it to the actual assembly to be sure we had it right. The pre-drilled holes, and hardware all lined up nicely. We do wish that the drawer bottoms were a little bit thicker. You won't want to store anything too heavy in them or they may bow. They are perfect for treats though!

The final product is very nice and seems sturdy and the color is gorgeous. We don't plan on using these overnights; they are just designated doggie lounge areas and a spot for them to go when we have guests. Although Loki has opinions about that. We've reserved the final star to see how well it holds up, but overall we are very happy with it so far.
