Good news and bad news. First the good. Purchased assembled form any other supplier and it would cost two to three times as much. Bad news - you have to assemble it. Courier (DHL) 'lost' one of the two parcels. Wayfair immediately sent both parcels again. Customer service outstanding!! Incredibly well packaged. No damage whatsoever. Assembly instructions appalling. Best to spread all of the components out and have a long think. Remove children and small animals from the room and anyone who objects to strong language.  Good luck, took me more than two days!  But extremely pleased with finished product.
