The bar arrived in several boxes. It's a lot of work to put it together. There were a few pieces missing but wayfair replaced them very quickly and I didn't have to pay shipping and that was nice. The package was still missing the same screws but I didn't request them again. I just left the feet off for now. The bar is nice and I love the fact that when it's closed you wouldn't know that it was a bar. I'm not sure if it's put together correctly because it doesn't stay closed. I would recommend that if you can have it put together to pay for that service. Overall, it's working out fine. I do like it!!
