This storage credenza arrived super fast, packaged professionally and in perfect condition. It is very heavy, so I carefullly unpacked it and carried the parts upstairs, laid them out in order on a carpeted floor (as not to scratch). I used a drawer organizer to separate the small bits ,every piece was accounted for. I read the through the directions first, all you need is a phillipshead screwdriver, and a small hammer, so I took my time and checked off each step as I progressed.Then, in about 4 hours, voila'! It is beautiful, it looks like real barnwood, it feels better than I expected, it is very sturdy. Best of all I put it together all by myself (I'm just a little old Grandma)
