It arrived in a pretty impressive box, the parts where well packed and everything was apparently present according to the manual's part list.
Assembling was pretty straight forward, with only a couple of gripes.
1. the +drive screw driver is a bit ruff (but at least you get one it the kit).
2. The manual makes reference to the wrong screws for the pivot joints - but its pretty obvious which screws go where.
Other that its fine.

...so far so good.
