This was well packed, with fairly simple to follow directions.  The pieces were labeled and the fasteners were  packed in a very ingenius manner.  They were easy to find, which ensured usuing the proper screws and other fasteners the first time! This is a solid piece of furniture, and the finish is exceptional.  It is a rather tall piece and affords one a good bit of storage.  I chose not to install the wine rack aspect at this time, which gave me more stage space to work with.
