Super easy and fairly quick to assemble. Great accent piece to display about anything. Shelves are all deep enough to hold any items you want to show off. Perfect for a kitchen, kids room for books, bedroom or living room to decorate to your taste. Not impressed with the laminatemanufactured wood as it is different shades in several places. Shelf would look better if you couldnt see every screw, makes it look cheap. Stands up all by itself or can be leaned. Great item for a budget!
