This came in two decently heavy boxes. The assembly took us longer than it said (it said 90 minutes, we were probably more like 150 minutes) mostly due to some annoyance getting the screws through the un-predrilled holes. It recommend to not use a power tool but we had a low-speed one we used to save us the annoyance of the holes.

We also assembled a bit out of order by put the top half on sooner than the instructions said just because its kinda heavy and putting it on with the glass door weight sounded like asking us to break the doors.

There were a few dings in the wood in not noticeable areas but other than that its super sturdy and looks really pretty. Weve stored a few miscellaneous odds and ends heavy glass baking stuff in the shelves and drawers and its handled them fine.

We love this gorgeous addition to our kitchen!
