This is a beautiful piece of furniture. It comes in one BIG HEAVY box but is packaged very well.  The instructions are pictures but not too hard to follow. I suggest laying them out in Alpha order and it will go easier.  The TV is a 42 inch and there is plenty of room for it and even a bigger one.  The storage on the sides is small but square so you can get “normal size” things on the shelves.  Only 4-stars because the heaterfireplace makes a funny constant noise when it is on regardless if the heat is on or not. It’s not loud but you are aware of it if the TV is off.   I love this piece.
