It's bigger than I expected, it is a lengthy process to put together but is simple and straightforward. What I don't love about it is that the faux wood is more of a shiny sheen than I would have liked and the fact that the backs of the front legs are hollow on the back side. I have it between two entryways and when you walk through you can see that it is not solid. I do appreciate the hollow back legs for cord storage but the front one should have a backplate.
