Fairly easy to put together - takes a long time but instructions are very detailed and easy to follow. It does bow a bit in the middle where we put our (small) tv, but nothing too noticeable. Pieces are somewhat fragile though - we had one piece fall off a counter and broke in two. (our fault, but be cautious)

UPDATE to above review - 6 months later the dress is falling apart. I think mostly due to the part that we weren't able to use, but it's bowed so much in the middle that we're unable to close any of the drawers.
