This sideboard came completely put together. The only thing I had to do was attached the legs. Problem: the attachments to screw the legs on were not there on the right side of the item. Due to the attachments not being installed on the sideboard I could not screw the feet on (one of the selling features of the item). Overall the item is sturdy, the drawers are deep and lined. I considered the legs to have been an added bonus but the item is beautiful without the feet.
