Had a heck of a time getting it in the front door of my 2-story apt. The people that left the box laid it flat on my doorstep. It was 100 lbs. and I could barely lift it. It was so heavy. I am 60 yrs old and there was no way for me to carry it up the stairs.  It remained in the downstairs area because there was no one to help me pick it up. I was thinking of dismantling the box downstairs and bring it up a few pieces at a time. A week later I had the cable TV guy carry it up for me. He was a young guy but he couldnt believe how heavy it was. You would think that maybe they can ship in 2 boxes. I will be putting it together today.
