It arrived on time, well boxed.  Assembly would be easy had a few things been done better: 
- One metal drilled hole was off too much to work (I'm using without that bolt).
- two wood holes were mis-drilled (I personally resolved one of them, the other was not possible). 

The directions were quite poor, but I am better than average at building things so I worked through it.  Some will be very frustrated, I was a little.  I made several "correct guesses" and a couple correctable wrong guesses.  

I do have slight cosmetic damage as the result of one of the piece failures, my wife can repair that later. So, I do NOT recommend this for the average assembler.
