As with other reviewers, no snow yet, so haven't taken it for a test run, but everything out of the package looked fantastic.  Easy to put together following the booklet (ignore the quick start guide as it's very vague diagrams, just go straight to the manual).  This is my first snow blower and I was surprised at how big this thing is!  Now I can't wait for the winter :)

We purchased this item for our sons room and it arrived fast. The packaging was great and there were no signs of abuse or neglect from the shipping. It was fairly easy to build as long as you have a knowlege and a little experience at assembling such furniture. Instructions are fairly clear with good pictures and all parts are labeled well enough. The only issue we found is that some of the black on the edges of some of the pieces had small flakes, it was not due to shipping, it was packaged from the factory this way. I guess for the price these are the types of issues you will get. Flakes can easily be hidden with a black sharpie.

Looks great.  Instructions were great.  Easy to assemble.  Everything lined up perfectly.

Assembly??? What assembly?! Hands down the easiest "put together" I've ever purchased. Now I understand what the "Fold 'N' Snap" refers to! Brilliant! Beats to hades the IKEA bathroom cabinet PITA assembly experience from a few months ago! Arrived yesterday. UPS dude was soooo not helpful. I'm almost 60, have had several abdominal surgeries so heavy lifting isn't on "my list." He wouldn't even bring it inside! Said he "wasn't allowed to." Great. So now I've got a heavy, long-*ss box in my carport that I can't lift to bring inside. After reading many of the comments I decided I'd follow suit, as one suggested, and break it down outside and then carry in, piece by piece. PERFECT! Aside from solving the lift/weight issue it also took care of(as several purchasers pointed out)having to spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning up all the styrofoam "flakes" and stuff, of which there were plenty! I will say, though, that I was impressed with the thoughtful packaging. The outside box had several, good-sized perforations so I was a little apprehensive. No need. There was a "second box" within and very careful placement of styrofoam strips and pads within. Arrived completely unscathed! As for the quality, unlike some less lucky buyers, the glass pieces were free of scratches and the metal frame is essentially un-marred. There are a few minor, small "bumps" in the metal finish, here and there but, overall, nothing major that I can't live with or that detracts, in a big way. It seems to be of decent quality and substance(weight). As one buyer noted, it sure ain't particle board!!! And at this price point, nothing in the brick and mortar stores came even remotely close! Highly recommend this product. Now, time to go buy my LG OLED! :)

I'm not a distinguished connoisseur of furnishing items and the like, but I can definitely say that I am thoroughly pleased with the build quality and look/appeal of this hook rack. When I opened the box, I was immediately greeted with the scent of semi-fresh wood-stain, which made it very clear that this slab of wood was very recently a mere slab of unshaped wood on a carpenters lathe somewhere, and that they were indeed made by hand. The wood itself was almost perfectly flat,  and there were no knots or any unsightly flaws within the wood. Of course, that was BEFORE I nudged it off my counter and dinged a corner during the mounting process *curses*. The ONLY gripe that I made to myself when examining the craftsmanship was that they didn't do their due diligence to do the last few passes over the woods surface with some 600-1000+ grit sand paper to really make the varnish shine. Granted, that's more than likely on the account that they're selling these things for a mere $25, so they're not going to spend extra time making it shiny. Otherwise, I'd be leaving a review for a $45-60 coat rack instead.

INSTALLATION: While packaging was somewhat lacking, the installation hardware that came with it was perfectly suitable (although I would suggest drywall anchors if you can't find that conveniently placed-stud). In the proper hands with the proper tools, you can have it leveled and mounted to your wall in under 10 minutes.

Buy it, mount it, put a bunch of coats and hats on it, then stand there for 5 minutes or so to marvel at their handiwork and yours. That's what I did :)

The assembly instructions were in very clear English. and the sketches for each step were very helpful.  I was concerned about the packaging after reading others' reviews. I am happy to report that those reviews must have been outdated.  The furniture was packaged extremely well, and all the small parts were vacuum packed onto a single, CLEARLY LABELLED cardboard piece.  It is heavy (~ 100 lbs) and did take us 3 hours to complete the assembly. It was not difficult but it did take a little time.  Now I can't wait to go out and buy an HDTV!!!!

I am going to start by saying that the assembly instructions were better than most.  It was clear that the company really tried to make the assembly easier for consumer and it wasn't a tough assembly.  Just a lot of assembly.  I spent three hours assembling and there was just one little spot where manufacturer missed a drill hole.  Not a big deal, I just drilled it.  Overall, for the price, this is a great deal.  But definitely set aside assembly time before presenting as a gift.  Can't wait to see my daughter's reaction on Christmas!

Easier to put together than I thought.  The instructions were exceptionally clear and easy to follow.  Still better for two to assemble.  given the large heavy parts.  The back panel is pretty much heavy duty cardboard.  Nothing new for stuff like this though.
Looks really good.  If you have small children, do yourself a favor and get an "L" bracket to re-enforce the anti-tipping restraint that comes with it.
Finally, Philips head screws, not Allen wrench hex screws.

It looked a little daunting when I opened the box and saw all the pieces but it was actually super easy to put together and the reason for all the "pieces" is that they include all the different types of screws and washers that you might need - very thoughtful in my opinion.  I also like that there was a significant amount of room for height adjustment.

My wife and I read other reviews before purchasing this item and have similar comments.  Amazing job on how the parts were packaged for the cabinet itself.  The granite top was surrounded by a wood frame which was inside it's own box.  There were no damaged/missing parts.  My son and I put it together in about 1.5 hours.  For the most part, directions were very good.  I thought I would mind the exposed casters that aren't covered by some molding, but I really don't notice or think about it.  It looks very good and we would recommend it.

I fell in love with this TV stand but was super disappointed when I saw the reviews about terrible packaging and instructions. After I went in search of other consoles I still couldn't take my mind off of this one so I decided to take a chance.

I received the order on time and carefully unpackaged each piece to make sure there were no nicks/dents. I only found one which can be easily repaired with a stain. It took about 2 1/2 hours to assemble the piece...definitely would recommend having a buddy help you out. As far as the instructions go it was a little confusing at first but we were lucky enough that the letters on the pieces were easy to read (some people mentioned there were no labels at all).

It was definitely worth it though! The TV console looks fantastic in our living room :)

High quality materials and easy to put together. Packaging was very protective and instructions were easy to follow. Looks great!

All the parts came wrapped so no scrapes and no lose screws in the box that could get lost.  Everything was there, all the holes lined up.  Lots of screws to put this together, but it was easy.  Had it together in an hour, looks good, should do the job!

I let my 8 year old put this together with my supervision.  It took about 10 minutes from beginning to end.  The finished product looks great, and there was virtually no repetition (which I'd expect there not to be since there weren't that many pieces).  One note, this is the first time I've ever had to cut something that was going be used as part of the set.  Not sure if this happens with other sets at all, but found it a bit funny.

While I was waiting for this to be delivered, I happened to browse through the reviews and they freaked me out a little bit! This is not difficult to put together, and the instructions, though wordless, are very clear. In fact, two of the pieces were mislabeled in my set, and it was so obvious which was which that it didn't take more than two minutes to figure it out. It took me about 2 hours to put the unit together, alone. I've had a couple of other KidCraft pieces, and this was on the simpler spectrum of their items.

It looks GREAT in my child's room, and replaced two cabinets that took up much more room. Also, it allowed me to put things I'd had up high down on his level so he can get his own toys instead of having to ask us to get them down for them.

This was packaged securely, and none of the pieces were damaged. Yes, they're dusty and that packing foam is messy, but anything you buy that you have to put together will have that issue. This piece was at least $200 cheaper than anything else of its quality I saw, and nothing else that would have weighed this much (89 pounds!) would have had free shipping.

The only thing I can see that might be a problem is that the plastic bins have little right-angle "feet" on each corner, and those get caught on th edge of the shelf when I push them in. I'll update in a few months with whether or not it's damaged the finish.

Just what we wanted; good looking and a snap to put together

My GF and I just got this. It arrived in 2 days and was packed very well. We cant believe how well it went together and how great it looks for the price. We have spent alot more money for furniture that doesnt look any better than this. We are going to order another for our guestroom in our other home. I cant reccoment this product enough. Its extremely easy to put together coming from a somewhat less than handy man. As a final product we give it 5 out of 5 stars from start to finish.
