The chairs came as one shipment on the expected delivery date. I didnt realize the table might be delivered separately; it came the next day. This was easy to assemble with the provided allen tool. The main issue was that the protective corners in the box were obviously not placed correctly or semi-permanently on the table, so two corners were damaged like shown in the picture. Otherwise it fits smoothly and seems sturdy. I would consider returning it, but for $250 (wayfair credit) I don't know if it is worth the hassle.
