these arrived very well packed, no damage to any parts. assembly took me one hour, mainly due to the difficulty of matching up some holes (which was a normal part of the design, not a malfunction). i got two of them, and between them there were no missing parts and only one non-drilled hole in the metal which won't affect it's use. i couldn't be bothered to find a drill bit to fix it. it comes together into a solid little nightstand which will serve it's intended purpose perfectly and stylishly.
