Packaging was extremely good.  Two men brought the heavy package into my house wherever I wanted it.  The table is very beautiful and so are the chairs. The table and chairs are a darker cherry then appears in the photos.  Either way it is well worth the price.  It complements my family room as a beautiful piece of furniture.  My house is small and I cannot put a table in the kitchen without crowding it.  I would definitely recommend this item to a friend or family member, and tell them to shop the Wayfair way.  Go Wayfair.
