Comes in flat about 2” thick box.  Packed well. This is basically sheet metal formed to make the table.  Not to thick but typical thickness not to be too flimsy. Pieces were not marked making difficult assembly only by taking longer to determine which piece was what.  Kind of had to pre assemble in mind to know where pieces go.  Based on overall quality think it’s over priced. Hope it holds my new ninja outdoor grill xl ok.  If not I’ll be back to update.
