Arrived without damage, packed in a large single carton, that weighs over 65 pounds. Assistance may be required to move the unopened carton. Quite a bit of assembly is required; however, the sequenced assembly instructions are in a pictorial format and easy to follow. All parts and hardware are clearly marked for identification. Be sure to note that the instructions warn not to fully tighten fastening hardware until all parts are assembled. I only ran into one problem. Two of the metal leg attachment plates. were drilled but not threaded to accept the provided leg mounting bolt. I substituted a #10 x 20 x 2-1/2" bolt and nut assembly to quickly solve the problem . Overall, I am very pleased with the completed product and the bargain price.
