I like assembling things, so it was not too bad - took about 2.5 hours (would be less, except for what I mentioned below). It was packed VERY WELL and the material was pristine on opening the package. The shelves, fasteners, etc. are very well marked in individualized bags, and the instructions are very detailed and for the most part well-written. A hex wrench is included,but you should have a Philips head screwdriver to put the item together. The even had a bag of extra parts in case something happened (very nice) - was helpful to me as I broke one of the connecters when trying to attach it. It is sturdy and actually looks like a much more expensive piece. It is advertived as a "DVD" storage, but the dimensions are really not made for this (unless you just want to pack it it) - the shelves are deeper and taller than they need to be. A few caveats to read BEFORE PUTTING IT TOGETHER: 1) Use a flashlight - it helps lining up the objects with the pre-drilled holes underneath 2) Assemble the piece on a rug, and use the packing material to protect the pieces during assembly. It dents very easily 3) As is true with putting together assembled furniture, it is VERY easy to mix up the orientation up/down, left right. The piece has pre-drilled holes to follow, and I realized after the fact that they were in the wrong spot only after I proceeded to the next step. I would suggest: a) Step 2 - Make sure the shelf holes in the center support match those in the sides - the back have six holes,the front has 3 holes. I actually did this wrong and opted not to re-do it, as the extra holes were just to prevent the shelf from tilting, and it was not worth the aggravation reassembling the who thing b) Step 4, #2 - put the flat magnet plate on the doors FIRST, BEFORE putting the doors onto the cabinet. I did not do this and the holes ended up on the top of the doors, rather than the bottom, so I had to take them off and re-install them correctly. 4) When placing the doors, best to have the piece on its side rather than uprightRead full review
