I loved that it was packed so well! Finally someone actually cares about how their products go out the door. Every piece, I mean every piece is wrapped! Hardware is labeled.  The granite top is wrapped and encased in a wood frame! I have to "break in" Putting it all together, I did have help.  The two top drawers were actually the hardest to put together because the screws don't seem to want to go in the holes all the way.  The instructions for putting the top on came packed in the box with the granite top so don't panic when you don't see anything on the directions that come with the cart.  Also note: there are at least 3 different directions for tops based on the model you buy, so you will have extra pieces.  I opted not to put spice rack on so now, I have to find smaller wood plugs for those holes. Overall, very pleased and happy with this purchase!
