Delivery was not delayed and when I opened the box, the packaging wasn’t nearly as adequate as I had hoped. Grant it, these tables don’t have glass but the corners of the gold metal parts still should have been protected better as one of them had slight dents in it.  Assembly was easy and only took one pair of hands and under half an hour to put both tables together.  I should have read the specs before ordering.  The pre-fab boards are not as thick as I would’ve like them to be!  They aren’t totally flimsy but could be thicker and more sturdy. But the tables look very pretty in my living room.  Let’s see how long they last!
