?? I use a razorblade to slice the big box open, rip it down off of the staples, slice the other side down, rip that side off the staples, then use the razorblade to cut open each individual box. I unpacked these two boxes in about 12 minutes (had to find my razorblade first). But WAY better packed than some other companies... Plus they use UPS which makes me for a happy camper.
