We ordered this dining set in Oak. When we opened up the boxes, I was especially impressed by how well everything was packaged. Nothing was scratched or damaged, and everything seemed to be well protected. The assembly instructions were easy to follow, and the tools we needed were all included. The only downside was that it was delivered in three different shipments, so it was a week after the first box arrived before we had the whole thing. Still, it arrived faster than expected, so I really can't complain.
