This dog grooming tub came in a wooden crate, you would figure being packed in a wooden crate would’ve protected it very well during shipping. Unfortunately the shipper damaged the crate with a forklift scratching the tub. Besides that disappointment, I have found this tub to be very well-made. Everything lined up perfectly, the fit and finish is not perfect on some parts, there are some very sloppy welds on the seams. I would definitely recommend this tub however beware the shipper can leave your item on the loading dock for two weeks without contacting you then deliver a damaged item. And as I mentioned cosmetically it is not perfect.
