Dog bowl arrived on time and was very well packaged.  Only assembly was to screw on the legs, which took about 2 minutes.  Wash the bowls and you are done and your dog is ready to eat and drink!  Really sturdy solid wood.  There is a slight oder of stain when you take the wood out of the box but that goes away quickly.  Our 85 pound dog was grateful to have the elevated feeder and the bowls hold a LOT.  Very impressed - great product.
