The table is gorgeous! It looks even better in person! The table came in two boxes, the table top and the bottom. It was dead simple to assemble (one person, maybe 30 minutes). We especially like that there is a locking system for keeping the table halves together AND it also locks the leaf into place. Also, we ordered this earlier in November, with an estimated delivery date of after Thanksgiving. That was okay, we'd deal with our folding table for another holiday. Not so! Without paying for expedited delivery, we received it in two weeks! We couldn't be more pleased with our purchase!
