Put together pretty easily, except for the very bottom front piece, which seems a little awkward/strange (No pre-drilled holes, and a little weird to line up). Sturdy piece, I _do_ wish the top (which is hollow, so you can put something on top of the display case) had the same finish (it's just the raw particleboard), since it's easy to see that from the stairs this sits in front of at my place. HOWEVER, in normal use, it's such a tall piece that nobody would ever really notice. (And in our case, we just found something to put on top of it that really hides that unfinished part)
