We got the set (dresser, chest, and 2 nightstands). Each piece comes in one box and the boxes are very heavy. It does take a long time to put together but we got the hang of it. The drawers are a bit shallow, and we have had 2 drawers fall apart in the dresser after 1-2 months of normal use and we had to put them back together. We really like how these dressers look and we liked the price but we have been a little disappointed in the quality. While they are nice I dont expect them to last very long.
