Not bad. It was very easy to put together, and I was able to do it on my own in an hour or so. The "keys" that hold everything together are a little hard to move, but not too hard. The piece looks good, overall. The pillow is a little cheap looking, but in line with the price. The only drawback to me, is that the magnet on one of the door does not seem to work too well, and anytime someone has sat on the bench, the door pops open. Overall, I would recommend this piece.
