This product is packaged well (protected from scratching in transit) and comes in many pieces.  It was a pain to assemble, and some of the instructions were incorrect (illustrations were backwards and the pics didnt show details needed).  The pre-drilled holes were not perfectly aligned which made using the alan wrench very difficult. I would definitely recommend assembly with two people as this is a large product. 
The finished piece is very nice, however, and seemingly worth the effort.
