Box came with clearly marked pieces and good assembly directions but had a shelf that was slightly broken (which did not affect the end result) and a couple of holes where screws need to be inserted in were totally out of line with the product (we had to drill correct halls). In general it is a beautiful piece and assembly was not too difficult. It is not one of the sturdiest pieces but I hope it will become safe enough after we attach it to the wall to secure it (everything is included in the box)
