Nothing, but nothing, comes to my place without being modified within hours of arrival !. I took a chance on this item suspecting that I could modify the height to fit under a work surface in the worlds smallest kitchen !!. They arrived in really good time, with a small "clang" in the outer box, but are well enough packed to save the item itself. Easy enough to assemble, with seriously clever "top of leg" to underside of top shelf connection akin to auto exhaust pipe connections. Very clever and affords a very square and strong fitting. All the stainless is just half a step away from being "thin enough to wrap your sandwiches in" ... but that's also rather clever: keeps cost, weight and hence delivery costs down and is actually good for the planet. Use of "box" folds gets back the strength that a heavier steel would have had. Removing the protective film from the shelves/top is seriously painful !!. You need patience ... and it's still a job with a swearing factor of over 7 !. It's worth it though, just see all the lovely shiny stainless revealed ... eventually. These are a bit "lightweight" but sturdy and someone somewhere has really thought about their design. I'm buying more (but different sizes) for a workshop & office ... Love-em !
