Packaging was great but one box was VERY heavy to lift and you need another person to haul it up any stairs. You need a drill to assemble it (the first step has you screw in the hinges into a part of the wood that does not have holes so you have to make them). The feet did not fit on the bottom so I added felt squares to keep it from scratching the floor but it is not a good fix. I already built it so will not be returning it, but would not buy it again.
