The shipment arrived on the day it was scheduled and the outer cartons showed some signs of abuse by the carrier. Inspection revealed that the substantial inner pack successfully protected all of the components and there was zero damage. All of the pre-drilled holes lined up, making assembly rather easy. Completely assembled unit is very sturdy and quite attractive. I would suggest adding some verbage to the set-up instructions to assist those that have little or no experience assembling KD furniture.

Pros: Good packing prevents damage. Assembly easy. Sturdy and attractive unit.
Cons: Instruction sheet lacks verbage.
