This table was delivered even quicker than it was estimated.  Packaging was done nicely so that nothing was damaged or dented when opened.  All pieces came with directions.  Although it took a while to put together, the finished product was well worth it.  This set looks even more beautiful in person than in the picture.  I will say that when not in direct sunlight like in the picture it does look a little darker, but the color is not disappointing at all.  I am very pleased with the product, especially for the price.
