The packing was messy (Styrofoam everywhere) but item packed very well. No damage to panels noted before assembly started. Wooden dowels were only good as a guide to fitted panel positions. Wooden dowels were loose into all holes but the backup hardware and lock pins seemed to make up for it. Very solid once complete. Assembly was fairly straight forward but lengthy, took a little over four hours to finish from arrival at the door to final vacuum. Only tools of my own used were, Philips screwdriver, needle nose pliers to help align locking pins during panel fit and razor knife to cut open packed hardware.
Allow some time, unpack-age outside if possible.
