After a failed first delivery attempt (fedex damaged it), I got my order about a week after I placed it. When they say assembly required, they ain’t lyin! It took my husband about 4 hours to out this all together but in the end we’re both pleased. He said the instructions were easy to follow and assembly wasn’t difficult, simply time consuming. It’s a solidly made piece of furniture. It’s heavy so make sure you put it where you want it the first time.
