The table shipped in one very heavy box. There are only a few parts, but they are very heavy. I assembled it myself, but I recommend having 2 or 3 people to do it. It’s smaller than I thought it was, but still heavy. There are also these weird adhesive things that go on the top and bottom of the table to keep the top of the table connected to the body of the table, and the whole table on the ground. I don’t like them, as they’re not very sticky, so I only put them on the top of the table. I gave it 3 stars because it looks good, but it’s really just a table for show. I wish I had gotten a different one, honestly.
