This product was HEAVY! Be careful bringing it in the house, maybe get one extra set of hands to assist.

Shipping condition was great. Box was beat-up a little, but was packaged nicely with plenty of styrofoam to protect it. 

Build time (by myself) was every bit of three hours, but the instructions were easy to understand and all hardware was there to get the job done. They also provide extra pieces just in case.

Looks very nice! Very happy with our purchase.
