This is easy to assemble; lots of pieces, but pretty simple. Word of advice - if you are going to seal it, do each piece before assembling. It'll be a lot easier. The wood is pretty thin and it came with a few cracks, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with some wood glue. It looks great once assembled. Additionally, if space is limited this potting table is great. It doesn't have a large footprint but provides a decent amount of table space. It's not perfect, but gets the job done.
