Wow! This poolping pong table came in earlier than expected and it was in excellent condition. I was a little worried about it arriving in perfect condition but I believe the company has paid close attention to past reviews from other buyers. Not a dent, nor scratch on it when we unpacked it. Even though I saw a few torn cardboard corners on the outside of the packaging it was still in mint condition inside. Thank you manufacturer for paying close attention to packing it correctly and carefully. Took two people to put together in 3 hours. Not bad at all. Very heavy when it arrived so we took it all in pieces to our furnished basement. One piece is extremely heavy, around 300 pounds or more so make sure you have help no matter where you are setting the table up.
