Easy to assemble with easy to follow instructions and peices well marked. Needed soft mallet to push in some of the joining peices which was not included i couldnt push or screw them in enough (but not all the way as the instructions said). Put it together in less than 2 hours.   Love the extension peice use as a desk and computer station in front of tv.  Store the computer out of the way under the extension.  Sleek and up to date classic style.  I got it in black which goes great in my farmhouse style.
