I bought this as an “open box” purchase. The one I bought was blue.) I was nervous about the quality of the item, but was super impressed with it upon opening. 

It is solid. Well packed for shipping. Everything was in good condition upon arrival - the delivery men called ahead to make sure where to put it if I would not be available. It is well made and should last up to kids. 

Excellent buy on my part - I HIGHLY recommend this item.
