Received our console in two shipments. One on one day and the other the next after waiting for it for about a week. Putting it together was the hardest thing ever. Definitely a two person job...it took us about 8 hours! The instructions are sketch only no written instructions. Finally when it was all assembled we had to deal with the doors! That itself requires a whole new review! They are really hard to aline so the finished product is a sleek,modern, sturdy piece if you are willing to put in the time and effort.
