The package is indeed heavy. If you cannot easily maneuver 150lb box easily I would suggest get a help. The installation is rated at 3 out of 5 for the difficulty level and I would agree. If you have experience in assembling few drawers and tables this should be very straight forward. My only advice is that you would unbox at a spacious area where you can easily clean. The only downside about this stand is the division into 3 sections and there is a small bump every 13 of the stand. My TV cradle is pretty wide so I needed to find a sweet spot to stabilize the TV on two bumps. Overall everything is smooth and the stand is as is in the picture. You will not regret it.
