Very well packed and the individual parts appear to be well made. Assembly instructions are minimal, at best. Took about ninety minutes; thirty for assembly and sixty to remove the plastic film from the shelves. This film has an adhesive backing and the film is only slightly stronger than the adhesive making the removal not only a test of patience and hand strength, but also requires a delicate touch. I really don't understand why the film in the first place. Assembled, the table is a little wobbly but not too bad if you snug up the hardware pretty tight. I think if you locate the lower shelf pretty high up on the legs, the wobbliness will be quite noticeable. Levelers on each leg are easy to adjust and appear to be well made. Now that it is assembled, I am reasonably happy with the results.
