I had a pretty tough experience with shipping estimated time. I ordered this piece not only for its beauty and functionality but for the time frame that wayfair stated that it would be delivered. It was over 1 week late and my customer was not happy.   The packing of the stand was far above my expectations.  The build wasn't too bad with the help of an assistant.  My customer does not like that the lights on the sides will not go on without the fireplace lit up.
