It came double boxed plus styrofoam around it so there was very little chance of it to be broken or damaged.  It's a solid piece of furniture.  The only assembly was the 4 legs and they provided the Allen wrench for the 12 screws with lock washers and washers.  The first draw has felt inside on the bottom the second draw does not.  The metal slide rails have ball bearings on both sides which makes it easy to open and shut the draws.  Awesome night table.
