Love it! I bought 2 of them but different sizes. All the pices come in a box. Nothing is assembled. However the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. They even send you the screw driver that you will need to assemble. Can be assembled alone but way easier of you are 2. Very nice color. The top is a rich brown. I had been looking for a long time to find something decently priced and I finally found this. Highly recommend.
