The tree itself arrived nicely packaged and in one box...no assembly required. It is easy to arrange to suit your space.  My disappointment was with the leaves (and there are many).  I realize this is a faux tree but the leaves are thin and crackly.  Not even close to what a rubber tree leaf feels like.  That part of the tree to me makes the whole tree seem cheap.  I would have returned it as it is a very expensive purchase but it would have been difficult to manage so I am keeping it.
