I think I received my package very quickly. But the quality of the packaging was mishandled. My box had a huge hole in it, and when I opened up my box to put the stand together, the top part of the stand had a huge gash in it. Which is the same spot where the huge hole was on the box. So someone was careless with handling. But past all that as I was putting the stand together the directions were pictures and if you are not good at pictionary then you are fresh out of luck. There are not descriptive words to explain the assembly.  But again I had no problems until the drawer hinges, just trial and error. Once the stand was put together I really enjoy looking at it. Beautiful design and strong enough to hold my television, sleek , and I also realized how much it made my living space appear bigger for some reason.
