If you’re only skeptical about it being damaged, just get it. I was a little hesitant for that reason but it arrived without a scratch. The packaging was fine, I can only see it getting damaged if it’s thrown around. It’s certainly not a quick assembly with so many screws to put in, but I find it very sturdy for that reason. Took me 2 hrs 45 min to put together. My only complaint would be the assembly of the drawers could have been done better. There’s no pilot holes and on 2 of those screws the wood started splintering, but it’s in the back of the drawer and you’ll never see it so not a big deal.
