It came very well packaged. We made sure to let it sit for at least 24 hours before plugging it in and so far it’s working like a dream. We love the look of this little fridge and can’t wait to finish our kitchen remodel cause it’s gonna look even better once it’s in place with our new cabinets. Some people mentioned it being loud, I can hear it working but it’s not a distracting kind of noise. Maybe if I slept in the kitchen it would bother me but because it’s usually so noisy in the kitchen, prepping food and what not, it’s not a big deal at all. Would recommend!
