One thing that separates this pedestal from others is we ship the pedestal broken down. Now don't get scared! We spent lots of extra time and effort to make it a very simple task to put together your pedestal. Its so easy we had the secretary with almost no experience at all build it! We have a instruction video from start to finish under 10 minutes to show how easy it is. Using our interlocking design you have a guaranteed snug fitting pedestal. Why would we do this? SHIPPING is a killer on these things, so we ship it flat for almost 70% less! Of course if your not confident with doing this yourself we can always assemble it here and ship it out just make the request by giving us a call 608-687-9543.
