I found this easy to assemble on my own. You need to pay attention to the measurements of the supporting struts, and place them the correct way or you may find shelves misaligned otherwise. It's a sturdy design and I am very happy with it in terms of equivalent items.
My only criticism is the spacing for DVDs is based on more modern cases that are similar in size to blue ray. I could not fit my entire DVD collection as a result. Otherwise I would have given it 5star.
