I was very concerned about this purchase b/c of all the comments about putting it together. But it was the only corner TV stand I liked. I'm so glad I purchased it. I put it together while watching a football game on TV. It was very straightforward and I thought the directions were excellent. The parts were all there and the pre-drilled holes were all lined up. So while it took some time, it was not hard or frustrating. I only needed help when I needed to flip the cabinet onto it's side and then back up again. Very satisfied customer.
