This cabinet is more of a dark brown vs. the golden look in the photo.  If you layout all the pieces by part letter and follow the instructions exactly, putting it together just takes a bit of time and elbow grease. The screws are a bit lower in quality so using a drill had a tendency to strip them. I ended up using a screw driver.  All in all, once assembled, it is quite sturdy and does not look cheap. My only regret is the color does not match the picture so it doesn't match as well with my other office furniture which has a golden oak color.
