IKEA used to ship solid wood products -- and laminated pine-strip items too -- in flat boxes.
Back in the 90s, I bought a solid wood bookshelf and a laminated pine strip coffee table from them. They were structurally sound and very durable. In fact, a couple of years ago, I repurposed the bookshelf to create a built-in.
So it's definitely do-able!
