Beautifully packed in three boxes, thanks for the courier for bringing them to the back garden. Was a bit worried that I couldn’t see instructions initially but they were there. I’m 69 and managed to construct this on my own so it shouldn’t be a challenge for anyone though an extra pair of hands would have been more time effective! Not possible at present. Also I liked the fact that there are spares of all the hardware. So very happy with my purchase overall
