This item arrived on time all in one box a very heavy box. My husband was very frustrated putting this thing together lots of little baggies with pieces in them a booklet of instructions some items not making any sense. But after about 5 hours he had it together. He did say he would have rathered and paid somebody else to put this thing together. He also commented it it looks nice but I will agree, it's a bit flimsy compared to our old standard ones that we've had for a long time from the local stores I just wanted something more pleasing to the eye. I hope to get a couple years out of this. But my hopes are not high. It does come with a wall mount equipment, but I'm not hooking this thing to my wall. You be the judge
