The box was heavier than I anticipated, but all the pieces were there, and the instructions were clear. I took my time, and it was about 90 minutes putting it together by myself. The only thing is that there were 2 screws that didnt align, and those are the two that go secure the metal piece underneath the top unit piece. I figure its okay since gravity and the weight of the TV should help hold it down. The TV on the unit is 42 for scale.
