As long as your are patient and careful with the instructions it really wasn't that difficult to put together. I was able to do it by myself. The only thing was at the end putting the right hand door. Using the predrilled holes caused the door to be too close to the hinge side and when closing and opening it scraped and popped against that side. I redrilled those hinges outward a little bit and now it closes smoothly. However there is a little bit of a gap between the doors, more so than in the pictures. About half an inch. For my purposes it's fine and I have no problems keeping it. Everything is aligned. Overall for $200 it's a sturdy piece that doesn't break the bank.
