This item came packaged well and properly. The shelves and boards are boxed within the large parcel you will receive. It would be hard for them to get damaged in transit. The unit assembles quite easily. I would say my husband put it together in 20 minutes after removing everything form the box. When assembling, remember the finished side of the top shelf faces down. The shelf capacity is listed at 14lbs. We both felt they are much stronger and could hold at least 20lbs without bowing over time. The legs leveled out nicely, we have no fear of it tipping. We chose sand gray, it is a touch darker in person. The price feels a bit high at $380, but when you consider free delivery included for an 85lb parcel it makes more sense. I would say this piece is much more efficient than aesthetic. The dimensions were exactly what we needed and we are quite happy. Thanks Wayfair.

Looks great
