The shelves were received only a few days after order placement. Extremely fast shipping which I was so happy about. When we got the shelves, they are packed together in one box so be ready to have help with lifting if you need to they are rather heavy. Upon opening, everything was there and marked for easy assembly. It was just that, very easy assembly and the two shelves were put together in less than an hour. I couldn't be happier with these shelves. They suited my application to the tee. The openess of the shelves make it a less crowded feeling in a small room. Great item(s) would highly recommend.
