No problems at all with unpacking and assembly. It took me an hour to build it and move to it's final destiny in my house. I bet that those who complain about how hard it is to build only expect it to come out the box and be ready in 5 minutes.It has a solid metal structure that can be lifted up using the screw beneath the legs. Screw holes in the sheets fit perfectly with screw holes in the metal structure. Two separated sheets lay on the top of the furniture one to the side of the other one, You realize how well made this furniture is when you see the edges of these sheets fitting perfectly. My family loved it. It's sturdy, well-looking and a space-saver. It's totally worth for the money, surprising good quality for the money, it looks industrial but with character. Easy to assemble... Just read the damn instructions, please...
