A lot of parts but, unlike many other brands, there were a couple of extra screws accounting for any losses or damage. Extremely well made of fine materials. (No cardboard.) Perfect for our new decor after home renovation. Instructions were easy to follow and it turned out to be a sturdy, great looking and practical piece of furniture. (The lighting in my photo makes it look more tan but, I assure you, it has a lustrous grey tone similar to weathered wood.) Wayfair has done it again and kept us as extremely satisfied customers!
