It came very well packaged and in one piece, which was nice.  But I have to say, especially for the price, it is a beautiful cabinet.  It was originally over $600.00 and I bought it for around $200.00, so a great deal.  I am super pleased with it, well constructed, very heavy, not cheap looking at all, and just enough distressing on it.  Love this cabinet.  The perfect accent to my new country living room.
