The box arrived when expected, and I was so thankful I paid extra for delivery inside because this box was HUGE and super heavy. I assembled the entire unit by myself (a female standing tall at 57 with moderate strength), but it would have been much easier with a second person. There were some minor hiccups along the way, like installing an end piece upside down (make sure the pre/drill holes are all facing the same as the base!), but nothing that couldnt be corrected. The instructions are not great but worked. I used more glue than included; you may want some school glue on hand. In the end, the item turned out exactly as described in the posting. The fireplace works great for our room and quickly takes the chill out. I have a 55 TV and soundbar sitting on top of the unit. I like that there is room behind the fireplace for a power strip (DO NOT PLUG THE FIREPLACE INTO A POWER STRIP/SURGE PROTECTOR, PLUG DIRECTLY INTO AN OUTLET) and to gather the cords off of the floor.
Box is SUPER HEAVY, looks great once assembled
