I received this ironing board station today:
1) Well packaged and arrived intact
2) None of the main pieces were labeled (so you really have to look at the instruction pictures to determine which piece is what.
3) Some of the holes weren't drilled, so before inserting screws, you have to drill them yourself.
4) Make sure to nail the back piece on as this makes it very sturdy.
5) You can definitely change the direction of the top ironing board piece.  I put it facing left as this is how I iron.
6) This is exactly what I wanted for my sewing room - I'm very happy and would definitely recommend.
