The cabinet took 5 hours to assemble, some pieces are longer than me, I am 56. There were 4 boxes of screws, fasteners, hinges, nails....there were so many bags in the boxes I needed 7 feet to lay them out. Some of the peoces were missing their identifying letters, and the stickers were so small they were hard to find. The last thing to assemble is the front cabinet doors, which I discovered do leave a gap in front. This gap is made worse because the stop the doors go up against is white, and my cabinet is black. Once assembled, and from the viewing distance of the TV it looks great. Trust me, there was no way I could have ever gotten this thing back in the box to send back. It was so tight in the box I had to get assistance to get it all out...didnt want to cut the whole box open in case something was damaged and it had to go back.
