This arrived very well packaged with no damage. It also arrived before the scheduled date!  It was very easy for me, 50 year old female, to assemble. Directions were very clear and the hardware is of great quality.  I read other reviews about the plastic being thin but I feel like it will last a long time. The base is very sturdy and the components are all built to last.  I am very happy with the quality, especially the price. It fit perfectly in the space that I had for it. Lastly, the hydraulic components are great quality and that is important.
