Box came a little banged up, but could’ve been FedEx. Husband took about 40 minutes to assemble. He had to drill one of the holes a bit and highly preferred using his own drill and screwdriver as opposed to the little tool that came with. Written instructions very bare but some looking at diagrams and common sense helped. Feels solid and glides nicely. Just wished matching dining set would ship close in time. Pups enjoying their first seating. Paid more for a solid made in USA product. Would recommend!
