Shipped quickly, in a flat box, complete assembly required.  Ought to make for a good project, like doing a puzzle.  Yippee, fun!  Or not. 

Update Instructions included with project were for the wrong cabinet (2 drawer v. this 4 drawer) quickly resolved with an email to customer service. After following the instructions exactly, for about 2 hours, the piece was finished. Poor quality in appearance the drawers are not evenly spaced and some are crooked. Assembly was very much like an IKEA piece - minus the quality.  (China - You need to step up your game).  I can not recommend this piece, spend a little more and get better quality.
