This was delivered in 2 days! It took a while to put together but my husband is meticulous! There were no scratches- it was well packaged. There were 3 pieces that were marked up, but the spots where they were do not show. It is sturdy and absolutely beautiful. The 3 drawers are deep but length and width wise, they are small. I tried to fold in some placemats and they do not fit. I didn't attempt table linens because you will not be able to fit them. All in all, it makes our dining room look beautiful and we are extremely happy with the price and the style! This was our first of many purchases!
