Ive been eyeing this piece for a while and finally bought it.  I was nervous to open it given that many reviews stated that there was damage to theirs.  Mine did not have any damage.  It was tricky to get or of the box alone.  I ended up cutting the box at one of the corners from top to bottom and lifting it out.  The top is super easy to attach and the piece holds a lot of stuff.  Overall I am very happy that I finally broke down and bought this.  Its nice in quality and style and holds a lot of stuff.  I like how the drawers are all different so you can have some options for what to store in them.
