When this was delivered by FedEx, the box was a little beat up and I was worried about pieces being broken.  However, it was packed very well and there was no damage!  All pieces were in great shape.  The directions were fairly simple to follow, though a couple of the pictures had to be studied to make sure things were put where they needed to be, like the bottom runner for the doors.  It is suggested that two people do the assembly, but I had no problem doing it by myself.  The tv stand looks great!
