So, like many other reviewers have pointed out, the instructions are difficult to follow and there are a lot of pieces. If you've ever put something together from IKEA, you'll be fine. If not, I would just suggest watching a YouTube and looking over the instruction before beginning. Be careful though and pay close attention. I had one or two missteps that set me back. But overall the piece is great! The color is darker than the picture, which I like. But it still has the tint of red. The sliding door is a very cool feature. And We love that there is a wine rack and shelves for glassware or mixology kits. We are very happy with it!
