Looks much better than I thought. You can assemble it on your own but it will take much longer. It took me more than 10hours. The instructions were easy enough. Just very exhausting. My hands were in so much pain at the end. Overall its really sturdy, strong and looks great. It looks so much more expensive than it actually was. Very happy with it. Wayfair were great with the delivery, prompt and in good condition. Thank you for money well spent. Would definitely recommend
