This arrived much earlier than estimated in my case.It comes in an ikea-style flatpack, there are no instructions included to assemble it :-) but by studying the photos in the Amazon listing, you can see how to put it together. - You will need to prepare a spanner and screwdriver, posi or flathead. - The vertical bars are in three pieces and take two clamps held by four nuts and bolts each. - Then add the castors to the base, - the vertical bars to the base, - then the central tray, - and finally the top.All in all it took about an hour to put it together.The results were good, it is stable, solid and happily took a bunch of 19 inch rackmount things only bolted in at the front and with no other support. I did not wear gloves and there were no snags on the metalwork to cut my hands. One corner of the lid was slightly bent out, but I tapped it on the ground and it was enough to realign it. There were a couple of edges that lost the power-coating but nothing too bad.You'll need to buy your own captive nuts and rack bolts separately.Overall if I needed another one, I would buy another of these without hesitating, the price / performance is very good.
