The table itself is a 5 star for sure. However the packaging was not. While the edges of the box were well supported with very hard cardboard to keep the box from being crushed, the box itself was gouged on one side and there was a small gash on the top of the table about 2 inches long. The surface of the table was not protected very well inside the box from anything coming through the cardboard. Since I am using mine as an oversized plant stand on my patio it didn't matter. If i were going to use it for dining I'd have sent it back.
