I was short on closet space and sorely needed the extra room for clothes. This fit the bill and arrived in one (heavy) box. I felt for the UPS guy. Overall, it was a bit of a pain to put together and it took a few hours. I would give the piece 5 stars except for the fact that the screws and other fittings do seem to loosen or fall off from time to time. One of the bottom shelves had to be re-drilled due to the fact that the screwed on hinge came out of place recently. The back boards are also nailed in, which isn't ideal. If you push in too many piece of clothes at once these can easily loosen and pop out. However, it was an essential piece to my wardrobe and would recommend it based on price and storage space.
