The packaging it comes in isn't a box but basically a heavy ziplock bag with their packaging design on it. Actually a lot better I think. Overall the set is pretty easy to put together based on the instructions and looks like it does in the photos. Really like the pot being an enlarged brick design; it's what caught my attention originally. Be very careful with the stalks when you're assembling them as parts can be slightly stubborn going on. That's about it. I'm happy with it and waiting on the other one to show up once it's back in stock.It cracks me up that they numbered each bag of pieces since they don’t correlate at all with the sequence of steps. For example-the pieces you need for step 7 are split up in bags 3, 6, and 1. The numbers are literally just there for decoration. You still have to dump out all the pieces from every bag to see what you need.
