I love this piece so much I bought two! Picked one up off Craiglist at first, then found the matching bookcase on here! This took me just under an hour to put together, but to be fair - I took my time. This is the easiest shelf to put together and wayfair labels everything so perfectly there is ABSOLUTELY no need to hire someone to put this together for you. Sleek design, fits perfectly into my space and I love the wide drawer in the bottom. My plants love this shelf as much as I do - super happy I found this on here.
