The packaging was compact and was not in the way while I assembled the chairs and table. The pieces themselves are not labeled but the instructions have each piece as a number and the hardware as letters. If you are a person who can look at the picture and  figure out the piece then you are ok. If you need the pieces labeled then this aint for you. When it came time to put the table together it was smooth until it was time to connect the legs to the table top. Some of the screw holes were not completely clear and when you went to screw the wood around the hole broke off. Also there was a screw hole exit missing entirely and I had to drill it myself. Then the last two screws that were left never would tighten. Overall it is easy to put together and is a pretty good size for a small kitchen.
