The items came in a quick fashion and was boxed up in one large container. It was easy unpacking everything; all the items came without any scratches or dents. There was lot of padding in the box, which was good to see that the manufacturer cares enough about their products to package it well. I was able to put together the set without help from anyone in under an hour. The only downfall, and reason for 4 stars and not 5, is that some of the holes did not match up with the screws. I had to use a drill in order to have everything fit perfectly. Some of the wood splinter when I did this; not too happy about it but for the price, it was slightly expected. Other than that, no complaints!   

Pros: easy assembly, solid quality
Cons: Wood splinters easily, pre-drilled holes does not match on all pieces
