The packaging was very good and there was no damage on the outside or inside of the carton and inner pack. The file cabinet was in a plastic bag to protect the finish, but there was some rust/like dust on the cabinet and in some places it marred the finish. We polished and waxed the cabinet and most of the flawed areas improved. There was one mark from something sharp or abrasive that actually removed the finish in a small area, about 1/4 long on the second drawer and there is also a small bad rub on the 3rd drawer, both of these can be seen in the picture. We were disappointed, but it was not worth returning the cabinet for these relatively small blemishes. Note, there was no hole to the carton or the plastic bag, it would seem the file cabinet had these issues when packed, there were no signs of water damage anywhere that may explain the rust like material.
Finish of the File had some flaws
