This dog crate/end table was very well packed so that there were no dings or broken bits. It was easy and quick to assemble with all fastener locations pre-drilled and all necessary fasteners included. Just bring a Phillips screwdriver and you are all set. We bought a pair of the crates for our two 50 -60 pound dogs, who have plenty of room to sleep in them. We are quite pleased with the way they look on either side of our couch.
