I recieved the feet of the item first and the other 3 boxes by Federal Express. They came on time. Federal Express delievered the boxes and only one man carried them to the door. The boxes are very heavy and do say to have two people. My pieces were all there. one small scratch on the underside of the top piece but that is not seen so it was fine. 
Not too hard to put together. I did it by myself and it took about 3-4 hours.
