After needing to order two replacement parts (which came quickly) it was easy to assemble. I'm not sure why they used stickers that are so difficult to remove, though! The slots to hold the wine are small, so bottles with a large base don't fit. Also, the bottles don't feel very secure, since there's no dip for the bottle's neck to fit into and nothing to grip the bottle. It feels like they could slide through the hole. It does look nice, though!
