console came well packed, and no damage.  All wood, but it is soft wood (pine) so take care to not damage during build.  This required full assembly, and took me (solo) about 2 hours.  Lots of dowels and screws :)  but instructions were fairly clear.  when assembled, the structure was very solid and looks beautiful.  Great mid-century modern design, nice wood stain, goes with everything.    Only minor drawback are the drawers, which are wood on wood rails, so they are not super smoooth.  Recommend applying bees wax to keep them lubed.  Overall, a great piece of furniture, good price point.
