Well packaged. The instructions were easy and well made. Stickers on the panels made it clear to put together. Overall about 2hrs to put together, and plugging in the lights were super simple. Whats great is that it has 3 light options, blue, yellow, and bright white. Cool feature is that once you open it, then the light turns on. Overall its about 100llbs, so its not the lightest, and you may need another person for construction. Spacious shelving, and definitely a nice addition to any home!
