VERY well packaged and assembly was simple and quick once we figured out how to remove the drawers. There's no mention of this in the instructions but there are small black tabs on each side of the drawer runners. Our unit required pushing the tab on the left side down and pulling the tab on the right side up to release the drawers. Yours may be the opposite but it's easily done with one finger. Once assembled this is a rock solid, heavy piece of furniture that we would have given five stars plus, but the drawers on our particular unit lack the distinct wood grain depicted in the listing photo. Shipping was timely and the unit arrived within the two hour window promised by the final delivery team, but we're of the mind that five stars equals exceeded expectations and that just didn't happen in this particular case.
