It took me 30 minutes to unwrap it in the box, but I am 78 years old and don't move fast. It was extremely well packaged, and very heavy. I have a dolly, and was able to roll it to a space where I could assemble it. I invited my next door neighbor to help me put it together, and she mostly just gave me moral support. I did the whole thing myself, the instructions were very clear, and all my neighbor had to do was help me lift the table and set it up on the four legs, once I had bolted them all onto the table. This is extremely well made and I highly recommend it.
