This side board arrived quickly. But as mentioned in another review, the box was labeled 1 of 2 and said not to start assembly before the second box arrived. Everything for the cabinet was indeed in the one box. Assembly was easy overall but there are a lot of small parts. It is sturdy and well built, perfect for our needs as a cabinet for electronics. The white on the cabinet is slightly distressed and more on the ivory side, however it is so minimal it doesn't bother me.
