Packaged very well so no damage during shipment. Fairly easy to put together following the directions, only issue I had was trying to get drawer to go in but eventually got that figured out. Looks great where I have it by our garage entry door and I like that it is modern looking with the metal, open design and not heavy looking like a solid wood one would be. Bench is sturdy and has no issue holding an adults weight. For the price I think the quality is very good.
