This is a large piece of furniture but perfect for my needs.  It comes assembled which is wonderful.  My unit was packaged very well and took some time to unpack.  Overall its heavy but we were able to slide it into place leaving a section of the cardboard box underneath.   We only had to put the tv on top and hook up the tv, cable box, DVR and DVD player.  There are holes in the back to pass thru the cords.  Overall its a very beautiful unit and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
