The box was in pretty bad shape when I received it. The tape was all broken and looked like it had been stored for ages.  When I opened the box the screws were everywhere.  The cardboard/plastic containers had come unglued. I was able to find all but one screw so the coffee table is missing one.  The loose screws caused noticeable damage to three pieces.  Luckily they are under the cushions or on the inside of the frames. It was easy for me to put all the pieces together alone. The cushions are very thin and not very comfortable but I had expected that from other reviews.
