It arrived a day before they were projecting, so that is a good start.
The box was beat up in shipping, but it was packed so there wasnt a scratch on it when I opened it. Lots of packing to get rid of, but totally worth it.
The instructions say 2 person. I did it alone in less than an hour. The top rounded piece is the only hard part by yourself. I ended up putting a scratch on it after it survived shipping, but they include a touch up crayon so all good.
I can see why some people would think the instructions are lacking, but they are perfect for me. Pictures of where everything goes instead of confusing badly translated stuff.
Its 5 heavy wood (pressed wood) parts and a ton of connectors. All it took to put it together was a phillips head screwdriver.
Do look at the pictures if you just start screwing stuff in you are going to be surprised. Most of the connectors are one the sides and not the big back piece.
TOTALLY happy so far. May not be after moving it 20 times to find just the right spot cause it is a beast.
And the fact I took time to write this says something. I rarely do a review of anything.
