Table and chairs arrived in multiple boxes, 6 boxes.  Very easy to assemble.  I thought the pedestal may be heavy, but it wasn't.  Actually the entire set was a little more light weight than expected.  Still, it is a cute set and serves its purpose for its intended space.  The side of the table was damaged (dented and scuffed) which was disappointing.  Color is lighter than pictured.  More yellow orange than the deeper oak that is pictured.
