The entire set in 3 cartons arrived a day before the promised delivery date range. It was packaged nicely. As several reviews for this set mentioned difficulty in assembling, I had Wayfoir provide assembly services. Wayfair gets it done through Handy. While the first handyman cancelled, the 2nd handyman arrived on time and completed the assembly within 2 hours. The set looks good and is a great value for the price.
