This item arrived to us in a timely manner.  Upon unpackaging, we realized one of the pieces was damaged.  But, this was not a problem as we had an absolutely wonderful experience with the manufacturer's customer service.  They were hassle free and quickly sent us a replacement piece.  We love the look of the furniture, but cannot attest to its' durability at this time since we have yet to use the piece as we are in the process of a move.
