We are so pleased with this piece of furniture. It is all solid wood, even the back.  No flimsy pressed fiber board here!  The packaged arrived quickly and very well packaged.  Unless someone were to drop the box from a significant height, I don't see how the product could be damaged during the shipping process.   The console is so well built and looks absolutely beautiful.  The only 'flaw', if you can call it that, is that the top is a little uneven due to the use of reclaimed wood.  But we feel that adds to the character of the piece.  If you need a perfectly flat top, you could easily place a piece of furniture glass over the top to attain that smooth surface.  It arrived fully assembled, we just needed to install the legs and flip the drawer pulls from the inside of the drawers to the outside.  So glad we found such a quality product for such a reasonable price!!
