Arrives neatly folded in a square. Initially thought I received the wrong item, but once I unpacked the first one I saw the item was double folded. Unlike other similar storage containers I've purchased, this set of three doesn't come with an bottom insert to provide support and better structure. You have to ensure each storage container is evenly and ensure the items are firm to prevent the unit from sagging. This is only important if you intent to have the units visible, but if they'll be stored under bed then it's not an issue. The size is great and front visibily window a plus. Quality is okay. I question how strong the zipper is and just how long it will last.
