I just completed the assembly of this unit a day ago.  There was a little delay because I was missing some screws, but customer service was excellent and I received them and Voila!!! it is now assembled.  I put it together by myself and I am 61 years old female.  Love to put things together.  This item is very sturdy and weighs about 90 lbs, so some people might want some help.  I guess I am pretty strong. It looks so classy and holds lots of things.  Very, very attractive. Highly recommend it...!!!
