It will come in a box that's half the length you expect. This is because the long sides are not single pieces and instead join with dowels and camlocks. This makes it a little wobblier than is ideal, and makes it very hard to assemble alone. I'd recommend another pair of hands. Having said that, it's nice, tucked away in a corner and it does look good and hold a lot of DVDs, so I'm not really complaining.
