It comes in three packages, fence, stand, & top. Plan on it taking a little long for the build. I took my time and it was close to 2 hours without mounting the router. I could build another one in half that time or less now. The directions are not the best but I just about built the whole thing using the picture in the Chinese-English instructions. The only problem I have with it is how you mount your router to the plate. Kreg gives you a template but that's it. Is this better than a bunch of rings with holes? It's up for you to decide. I guess it will be a stronger mount once you finish the retrofit. I'm thinking about buying the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kreg-PRS3000-Precision-Router-Table-Lift/dp/B002YIG578/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kreg PRS3000 Precision Router Table Lift</a>&nbsp;or Woodpecker lift to help ease the pain of mounting the router perfect. Hope I have some money left over for lumber! The stand is beefy and heavier than I expected, nice. I'm glad I purchased a wheel kit for it. It should make moving it in my small space less of a chore. I put a square on the fence and it is very, very good. Not having cut a single piece of wood or have yet to mount the router, I'll say it is a good table for the money, ***** stars. One thing they should add is an on/off button for the router.
