This experience was exceptional all the way around, from ordering to perfect delivery.  This was packaged so well, very impressed.  I laid everything out and checked every part off on the shipping list.  Nothing missing.  This was straightforward, putting this together was time consuming but certainly not hard.  The quality of this item is perfect, it may have come in a box with many pieces, however, it truly is a fine piece of quality furniture.  It’s very heavy/substantial.  I just love it and very happy with this purchase.
