The assembly directions were clear and easy to follow.  My teen nephew and I were able to put it together.  However, it does require 2 people.  It is heavy and solid materials.  However, the paint was peeling on the large top piece.  Not a huge concern for me, as it is going in my bedroom, but not exactly how you want a new piece of furniture to appear either.  Solid 4 overall and I’m happy with the purchase.
