This came well packaged, no blemishes or issues with it at all. I wish I would have paid closer attention to the information about this piece though. I assumed since there were two in the picture that I would be receiving two. But that is not the sellers fault it is my own fault so I am not taking a star off for that. Its sturdy but I wouldn't want to leave it outside in the PA winters as it does get windy at times, and pretty snowy. I feel with a good gust of wind it could be knocked over and I wouldn't want that. Overall I'm very pleased with this product.
