Outstanding piece of furniture. Well designed and engineered. It will come in three very large and heavy boxes. One with the center console, one with the two end units and one with the top piece. All you have to do is screw on the round legs and the top crown of each of the end units, bolt the end units to the center console and hang the back panels. My wife and I, seniors, put it together in about two hours. We managed to get all pieces out of the boxes in the garage and had a younger person help bring them into the living room where we did the assembly. If you are not very mechanical and able to lift heavy furniture, we recommend you pay the extra $89 and have it professionally assembled. We love the three way lighting system. It is very easy to assemble, just extremely heavy pieces. Everything fit together perfectly. Well worth the cost. We looked at store units twice the cost. And it is a pure white color.
