Exactly as pictured. I ordered 2 and unfortunately the assembly instructions were in the second box which I had not opened. And so after trial and error with no instructions I finally got the first one together in an hour and a half.  But then it only took me 30 minutes to put the second one together!  I am 62 and weigh 115 lbs and was able to do this on my own.  Big surprise to me too!
