Very easy to put together but lots of parts!  Be prepared as it will take some time.  I was able to assemble it by myself.   I took 2 days since my thumb got sore from using the phillip screwdriver so had to rest it.  I could not use a power tool as it turns too fast.  Make sure all parts are on vanity desk before applying the top.  I missed a few boards that I didn't see on the instructions so had to unscrew the top back off which was difficult.  I would rate it a 4 (based on price and the fact that my daughter loves it) but I received a cracked mirror and I'm still waiting on the replacement one (and it's been over 2 weeks).  The drawers are a little hard to close, have to jiggle it, due to screw jutting out.  Otherwise, it is a good value for the price.  The crystal drawer knobs are beautiful.
