Easy to assemble, although one of the clear plastic shelf holder-uppers was missing.  Looks nice and fits in a small space.  I do not light the fact that the corners are very sharp.  I caught my arm on a corner and got a small gash.  I put a similar colored towel over the top to protect myself and others.  It would be nice if the shoe rack came with a top piece of something.  The towel on the top makes it look like I'm still in a mess.
