The unit ships in 2 boxes. Total Gross weight was 285 pounds. So make plans to receive the shipment. The instructions are step by step & easily understood. It says the 8x6 is a 2 person job. I put it together alone (at age 63), adapting as needed, including the expletives when the wind picked up at the point it came to deal with getting the roof panels on. But in the end, took about 8+ hours by myself to finish the job.
The unit seems a bit flimsy when you start but once everything's locked together, it's quite stable. Making sure you have a flat level place first, before starting, is very important. I had an unlevel location that needed a frame to put the shed on (pressure treated wood). That was the project the day before I tackled the shed. Take your time, this is not a quick project but I'm satisfied with this product.
