This cabinet arrived nicely packed with no damage.  It does have an unpleasant fishy kind of smell to it.  I unboxed it and had the pieces in the garage for a couple of days, but it still smells bad.  I love the color of this cabinet (blueish-gray).  The front panels (doors) are slightly distressed, which looks okay.  The doors are a bit flimsy, which concerns me because we are putting our shoes in it, so it will be opened and closed a lot.  Overall, I'm happy with the purchase - it looks exactly like I envisioned in our entry way.
