This arrived to my home in a box...mind you, I paid for premium delivery services, so when the set came in in one big box, I was immediately dismayed (the delivery drama is a whole different story)  Once it had been put together, it does look nice. This set is on the small side, and you can definitely tell it is not quality made product...I am sure I will be replacing it sooner than later.  I must say this was my first time buying a major furniture piece online.  I don't think I will do it again.  I would want to see it set up first, so that I can see exactly what I am getting.
