It came in 2 boxes. Read the instructions carefully and don’t throw any packaging away until you double check the parts. I had to go rescue a part from the thrash that was supposed to be attached to the table top downside. The center is hollow and you have to pass screws though it. It comes with a tiny wrench to do this part, but there is Not enough space to maneuver the wrench in the hollow of the bench so I tightened it as tight as I could by hand then used pliers to finish tightening. You need 2 people or one very strong person with long arms and tiny fingers.  The finisg]he’d product looks ok. I am not sure if this piece would stand frequent use. I just need it for decoration and rarely will need to open it. Lost 2 stars due to difficulty putting the base together the useless wrench.
