I bought the Marcus dining table and it was delivered in about a week. It arrived in a sturdy box and it took maybe 10 min. to assemble the legs. I've been using the table for two weeks now and can say that it's probably the best piece of furniture I've bought for our new house. It's stable, well-made and so easy to adjust. I live in Washington, D.C., so space is an issue (Rove, please think of us small-space city folks in the future! Would love to see more apt. size furniture). The middle leaf is beautiful but we typically leave it out. It's the only regret I have about this table. If you're on the fence about it, just get it, already.
