I ordered this on a Thursday morning and it was delivered Saturday morning. Talk about fast delivery! All pieces came without any issues of scratching, marring, or being broken. After we laid out all the pieces, it took my 9 year old and me about 45-50 minutes to put it together. As others have said, you definitely need another person to help with the lift-top portion being installed. One thing we did discover - there are only 6 holes per side drilled in to attach the lift top, but there are 8 holes indicated in the instruction manual and 8 screws per side provided. It still works fine, just...odd. The top definitely smudges up easily, but I just wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and cleaner after use. Looks great, isn't too heavy, and is fantastic for the price.
