Hello and thank you. You reminded me of the saying "All good things come to those who wait." Yes, it takes a little time for assembly, but you are very accurate in your description of how well our pieces are packed and shipped with everything you need to make assembly a breeze. It sounds like there were no issues with your order, but always remember this. Got a concern or a question that is specific to your individual order or needs? Do not hesitate to personally connect with us at customerfeedback@belnick.com. Have a great day! Customer Care (JJ)
