There were several scratches on the pieces when it arrived. One is so deep, some of the foam packing got in the scratch, and now it appears as a white line on a piece that is showing. The stickers to label the pieces were difficult to read and it was nearly impossible to get them off without leaving more visible scratches. None of this is a huge deal, pretty acceptable for the price. The instructions for assembly are awful. Most pieces need to go a certain way, or be planned to be the back or the front from the beginning, but the instructions do not detail any of this. We had to take apart and re/assemble multiple pieces. Even if you read all the way through the book to begin, make sure you read several steps ahead before you complete each step.
