Well packaged. A lot of parts and pieces so the project of assembly seemed a bit daunting… but instructions couldn’t be clearer and once you have everything unpackaged, it takes maybe an hour. Overall the quality is decent. The mechanisms that assist with raising the table tops is a touch too helpful. I think either the tops should be heavier or the springs for the arms should be smaller. Until it’s broken in a bit, you run the risk of launching you food into your lap. Nice clean look. I’d recommend, for sure.
