As others have said, it was a little tricky to put together, totally possible for anyone with any skill set to do, but does require more thought and time than most other furniture I’ve assembled. However the end result is very nice, it feels incredibly sturdy and the wood feels a nice quality. The paint has a consistent glossy finish. Overall very happy with this. It is for a spare bedroom so this review is without having slept on it but I have no worries about it.
