This item shipped quickly. It was well-packaged with all pieces in great shape. The boxes are very very heavy and need two people to lift. The assembly took a few hours, but was straightforward, and comparable to more complex ikea furniture pieces I've assembled. 
The end result looks amazing, and is a higher quality product than I even expected! I would recommend this piece to anyone!
I've included a photo that includes a light switch and barstool , to give a better sense of the scale/size of the piece.
