This took me 6 hours to assemble but I didn’t finish because the middle piece wouldn’t fit where it needed to. I had to request a replacement from Wayfair. I had my brother come down and assemble the replacement and it took him an hour but I’m so relieved I didn’t have to deal with it! Lesson learned. I like the unit it’s nice I just don’t like that it’s not real wood and there’s no remote. But those aren’t deal breakers.
