I purchased this table as an entry table. Everything was in one package. Everything was wrapped securely in padding. The directions were basic instructions and easy to put together. It came with all of the tools needed. It took me about 15 min to put together. The top is not wood but a wood print on what looks like MDF. There were no predrilled holes to adhere it but the screws went in fairly easily with pressure. It is sturdy and evenly sits on floor. Over all this is a good buy for the price.
