Delivers in 5 boxes. Start with box 1 and progress through to build unit. You soon get the hang of the instructions. Really nice looking unit when built but takes hours to build carefully. Be sure to hammer in dowels as far as they will go before pushing panels onto them, as they will actually break through end panels and damage unit. Instructions were not the worst I’ve ever seen, but could’ve been clearer in places, so some time and patience needed. Impressive looking unit once completed.
