It arrived well packed but the box was really heavy. My daughter and I couldn’t put it on a cart without another person help. I ask a handy man to put it together and he needed my help to hold the glass while he was putting screws etc. You truly need 2 people to put it together. And it takes time, nearly 2 hours. But it was worth the trouble and at the end I am happy with the look and fit of this curio.
