The table came packaged very nicely and did not have any damage, due to the weight of the package.  Assembly was pretty easy, all the parts and pieces that were needed came with the table.  I read in prior reviews the finish is slightly darker then the picture, i have to say my piece looks identical to what is shown online.  Each shelf sits on and is fastened to a metal frame, the piece is VERY sturdy and well made.  I actually may purchase the matching end table also, i like the collection that much!
