Table was shipped within 2 days of ordering and came in 6 boxes.  Table top box was opened upon delivery and was spilling parts, but a quick trip to the local hardware store later and I had everything I needed (I didn't want to wait to put this thing together).  Assembly was pretty straight-forward but took about an hour and 1/2 (including trip to hardware store).  With the leaf in the table is a little bit wobbly but otherwise feels solid.  Chairs are nice and solid and the colors (white and natural) go great in my eat-in kitchen!
