The parts came carefully packaged (I was worried about a large package containing glass being knocked around) and it was easy to put together with just one person. In terms of style, this shelf offers serious bang for your buck. The one thing that didn't quite make sense concerned the suction cups that keep the glass in place- they were too large, so they stuck out a bit below the glass, so I ended up trimming mine to they didn't show. Note: this is not a chrome-like nickel but a slightly darker nickel. 

Pros: Great value, style
