This product was purchased as a gift for my girlfriend for her birthday. Everything was encased in a styrofoam shell, top and bottom, to protect it during shipping. This was good, because the box got a little beat up by the shipping companies. Everything was in/tact and no pieces were missing. I was pleasantly surprised by how much of the product was already assembled for me. Two people will make assembly easier, but with a little creativity and patience it can totally be done by a single person (which is how I assembled it). I was thinking the product would be more of a true white, but with the wood grain showing through the finish it almost appears slightly grayish. It is still a good looking piece of furniture, though. Once assembled, everything feels tight and sturdy. As always, dont over tighten things as you can crack the wood if you tighten too much. Some of the wood is a little soft, but that is expected at this price point. You should expect 300/400+ if you want harder wood with fewer engineered products. The product has a ton of storage inside for everything you could ever imagine. The little shelves on the backside look neat for holding books and other small decorations. All of the pieces go together with screws, and much to my happy surprise, all of the jewelry holding implements are screwed in as well! I was expecting a lot of small nails and staples that would pop out or loosen over time, but not here! Im hoping she likes the finished product as much as I think she will!
Not bad for the price! Neat design!
