Arrived in 2 boxes.  The desk legs were packaged in one box and the desk top in the other.  Wrapped and packaged very well with styrofoam and thick cardboard, as well as protective wrap on the legs and top of the desk.  It is solid wood, so it’s heavy.  Directions were minimal, but it wasn’t heard to figure out.  I like the retro look, the quality is excellent and overall I would recommend to anyone looking for a new desk who likes this style.
