Easy assembly, once you get through the very highly packaged one box delivery.  More Styrofoam than needed for all the Pentagon coffee cups! But the product was well protected. One extra of each small part, always a welcome benefit. Well built, attractive, appears exactly as advertised.  Pretty quick delivery.  At my age I'd have appreciated two packages (the Fed Ex guy much stronger than me!) Would recommend to a friend. Have seen this product in no retail store in my area.
