I am so happy with this purchase. Its exactly what I was wanting. It arrives in 1 box. Thats right, the entire 5 piece set in one box. But, I found it easy to put together. It was time consuming, but easy. Only think Ill mention is watch the tables. The sides matter for hinge and shock placement. I did have to redo both pieces. Definitely worth what I paid for all the pieces. The storage is large and lined with Velcro-in liners which is a nice touch when storing things during the GA pollen season.
