The table came in boxes which was fine. Assembly you do need at least two hours. Please be careful with the sizing of screws. The table itself is nice but mine came with these black scratches. I do not know how those got there but I know they are not suppose to be there. That was disappointing. Another thing, one of my chairs didn't even have a stopper on the bottom just an open screw which could scratch my floor if I hadn't noticed.  If I would of paid full price I'd be super upset. I'm just a bit disappointed with some of the items. I guess it's a gamble for the table. I just got a lemon.
