I was panicked when it arrived because the box was a mess---dented, ripped and torn in many places....was sure it was going to have to go back.  Opened it up and it had been well packed with styrofoam and cardboard and it is perfect.  Minor assembly of bottom to top was easy enough.  The beveled edges in the front are very nice touch.  Its rich cream distressed color is lovely and will go with anything.  Have it on a long wall below a large piece of art and it is the perfect balance.
