Everything was packaged well in one large box. Assembly was pretty easy, however instructions were terrible. Chairs sit slightly low to the ground, but not so much that they are uncomfortable, they are rockers. Another plus is the cushions have zippers, so washing the covers should not be a problem. The table is an entirely different story. Glass is tempered so it should not shatter if impacted by anything but the QC out of this factory is substandard at any price point, let alone 300! The legs are supposed to slide into the corner bracket, and then tighten with the “ring” piece, well if the bracket isn’t located in the corner, you will never get the legs tightened.
