This is a beautiful, stylish, durable tv stand, and ended up looking just as presented online. The box it was delivered in was very big and weighed about 100lbs. The unit itself took a couple hours for two people to assemble. I don't think it would be possible for once person to complete it on their own. The pieces did not all fit together seamlessly (there are some minor gaps), but this did not have a negative effect on the overall look. I had to cut an extra hole in the back for electronic wires that I wanted to keep in the vertical cabinets, but that was easy to do. I have already had compliments on the color and style, and think this was a good overall value and a nice addition to a modern living room.
