It did not come assembled.  I was wondering why the box was so small.  I did not get a chance to open it until today.  I was sure I paid for assembly.  I am very disappointed that now I have to find someone to do this for me.  I am not able to do this myself:(.    The item was packaged very nicely.  Nothing seems to be damaged.  I can email you a phone from my phone to prove it is not assembled if you would like..
