I was surprised when this came in one small box. I’m using this a as entry piece. Didn’t know I  needed to put it together, however I’ve had things from Wayfair pre assembled and came in badly damaged. That being said, every single piece was perfect , not damaged, and although it took me longer than expected it was perfect. Not a missing bolt or screw. Directions were complete and easy to follow. Worth the price and then some. Very happy.
