The table arrived in 3 packages, the chairs, table, and the table legs. I received the table within a week of ordering it. Anyway, everything was packed properly and with care. There was no damage of any kind. It was relatively easy to put the chairs and the table together. I actually put the table together by myself and was able to flip it over. However,  I recommend getting help. The glass top isn't thin at all. It is a lot thicker than I thought it would be. The chairs were also sturdy. However, the chairs left me desiring a bit more comfort. I am only 5'1", so the rounded part of the seat makes it uncomfortable and not ergonomic.  Secondly, the chairs themselves are hard. I am hoping that over time, they will soften. Overall, I like the table for the price. It looks nice and it fills a space i rarely use. I don't think I would buy again considering the chairs are not as comfortable as I would like.
