Shipment was delayed a couple days but arrived in good shape. Took about 2 1/2 hours to assemble. Directions were fairly clear and easy to follow. No power tools allowed, though, so achy hands this morning! Totally worth it! They look beautiful, and I was so pleased to receive a solid wood set at such a reasonable price. The one and only “complaint” is that the glue packet in one shipment had torn open and leaked. Thankfully all screws, knobs etc. are enclosed in their own separate plastic bag and all small items are packed in one larger pouch...so no further mess. The same kit was missing the key to assemble the legs. Since I bought two stands, I had the key from kit #1. Crisis averted. ☺️
