When this was delivered it came in two boxes, both rather large and heavy. 

I did expect this coffee table to be so substantial and very pleased with it!!

It is a little unusual but it is perfect for my transitional / modern room! I can't imagine anything else in its place .

Very well made and engineered , as well as very easy to assemble. The base comes in four sections you put together and the top fits right in.

Beautiful. Would buy again.
