I recieved two of these. One was damaged and I'm waiting on a replacement but am told that I will have to repackage. it came in one box, is very heavy and they should just pick it up. This is not two - toned as the photo represents, but I was actually pleased with that. The wood is VERY dry (the one that was damaged just split in two places, so recommend oiling it upon receipt. The hinge is a pop style so it is a bit alarming at first, but over all just what I needed it for.
