The package was frustrating because whoever put it together did so with the protective covering on the mesh sling. So you had to undo all the bolts to get the plastic off. That was a lot of bolts to loosen/remove with an Allen wrench. Make a lot more sense to put it together and then wrap it with a protective plastic for shipping. A couple things you can't tell from the pictures are, it doesn't lay flat, it's slopes downward at the head when you collapse the back support. So to lay on your stomach you have to reverse positions with your head at the foot. Having said that, I think this is a stunning lounger, that is beautifully made.
