When it arrived by Fed Ex,the box was wet,taped,ripped and crushed.Someone tried to retape it.I was shocked to see it like this and was wondering what shape the contents would be in. Surprisingly the product was ok.I don't know if this was on your end or Fed Ex's. Hopefully this wasn't what occurs with"free shipping". The table is great. It was difficult to put together because the screws wouldn't line up,but after 3 hrs I got it assembled.
