Came very well packaged. No chewed edges. Took 90 mins for 2 of us to assemble. Pay attention to instructions! They aren’t amazing. Like everyone else, we fumbled with the doors and they aren’t perfect despite fiddling so I took 1 star off. Otherwise, black finish is totally smooth and pieces are heavy. It’s sturdy. Grey cement-look top is true grey, not blueish. Has lighter taupey swirls to it which I like. Nice and deep so it holds a ton of bottles (we’re using it as a bar).
