Took a bit to put together with my fiancé . After about 2 hours and bickering back and forth it was finally finished. A few of the directions was unclear but just take your time and you’ll figure it out. Placed this unit at our entryway and fits perfectly with our other furniture. Unsure of its survival if you plan on moving because it’s a bit fragile. Pretty much a cardboard backing too. For what we paid , we do love it.
