I received my desk in less than a week and it took me around 3 hours to assemble but part of that time was spent drilling dowel holes that were missing in one board (the reason for the 4 stars.) The box was around 4'Wx4'Hx1'D and weighed a little over 100Lbs. Everything was packed really well and there wasn't any damage found. There are three separate motors, one for each leg, and the operation is very quiet. The controller can remember 3 levels which is very handy when you need to work at different levels. Overall, I'm quite pleased for the price paid. I'll probably added solid wood top over the existing top to make it a more substantial worktop surface but what is there now is fine for office use.
