This stand was for my husband to display model cars.  It looks great and I don't usually like to look at model cars.  He is good about putting the furniture together so it was easy for him.  It does take two people to put together.  The two upright glass parts in the back were a little difficult as it has a plastic piece that needs to connect the two.  He used a kitchen knife to spread the plastic out in order to put them together.  The two boxes that came were about 44 lbs and 80 lbs.  Fed Ex delivered them and did a good job as nothing was broken.
