Read descriptions carefully.  We were surprised when this arrived in a flat rectangular box, weighing 150 lbs. (and the delivery person will not help you get it into the house).   As described, this needs "complete assembly"; be prepared.  It took me an hour just to review the parts list (there are several hundred parts, if you count hardware).  Assembly time: 6-10 hours.  That said, the directions were quite good, and the parts fit together remarkably well! 

When completed, the item looks about 95% terrific, and just like the picture.  Note that the wood is all manufactured wood product.  The piece is largely assembled upside-down and, when we turned it over at the end, there was a corner on the top where the wood product had crumbled slightly.
