The table itself is "OK". This item came full of rust marks some of which I could was off and the table top was scuffed. I thought both were unfortuate but not a big deal so I assembled, well the wife strongly disagrees that its okay. So now I have an assembled table and chairs that she hates and what was meant to be a surprise turned out to be a blunder. 

Assembly- good instructions however holes took a lot of effort to get aligned.

Packaging- Seemed okay, box wasn't wet or watermarked but item was rusty. There was a huge dent but the packaging absorbed that impact as the prodcut at the dent was undamaged.
