We found ours easy to assemble, but take your time and pay close attention to the photos. This piece is on the small size, but the measurements are accurate, so just pre-measure to make sure it’s what you want.The one thing that would improve this would be small, off-white rubber or plastic caps/gaskets to cover the bolts on the sides. Also, know that the back gets screwed on (better than nails) with a bunch of little screws, so you wouldn’t want the back showing if you care about that sort of thing. I wouldn’t float this in a room.For the money, it’s a great value and can be perfect of this is what you need. By that, don’t expect a piece of actual furniture that’s not DIY put together. But, it’s nice enough in the right spot. Great value. Also, it was meticulously packaged and came in perfect condition, which is impressive for something of this size, weight, and delicacy. (Your mileage may vary.)Two thumbs up!
