I had no problem assembling this myself. Instruction were simple. You can connect the two parts, or keep them separate and rearrange them. I bought TWO of these sets and re-arranged them into a corner office to fit my needs.  The drawers pull nicely and have stops (except the tiny little cubby drawers on top)  You ca replace the hardware with another style if you wish to change it up.  All of the pieces are really thick and the veneer is holding up well. 

Pros: Easy assembly, modern sleek design, modular
