Love the side table. Our two tables arrived only two days from the day I placed the order. I've never seen anything packed so carefully before. There were two boxes for each table - one with the tempered glass and one with the base. No assembly for the base is required at all. You simply need to put the suction cups in the wood and place the glass on top. I did notice several customers report that there was nothing included to keep the glass top from moving, and we thought the same thing at first. BUT, if you look carefully at the plastic wrapping that came with the wooden base, you'll notice a zip lock bag with clear suction cups sort of hidden within the wrapping.
