The boxes all came in pretty good condition. I was worried because many of the reviews had said there was some aesthetic damage when they received this. There were a couple minor scuffs, but it was in great shape. My only complaint would be that the latch is a centimeter out of place because there is too much tension on the latch to latch it. There is also a slight odor from the lacquer. I am just going to leave it sit open to air it out. Happy with it!
