Easily assembled in less than one hour by one person. All you need is the allen key for the 52 screws and a drill for the tipping anchor. Very sturdy, solid, looks great.

Packing was done very well. Reinforced cardboard and lots of Styrofoam. Both boxes arrived damaged from the carrier (AMJ Campbell) including some large holes but the product was not damaged in the slightest. There was so much packing material it took longer to dispose of it than to build the shelf.
