Pretty easy to put together by myself. Unfortunately after all together, there was a scratch on the top as well as an imperfection on the edge. Many of the pieces had nicks out of the finish which shows. I guess I could use some tough up paint but doubt that would hold on the laminate. Also one of the end pieces, fortunately on the bottom was not finished it was the particle board. I know it wasn’t an extremely expensive piece, but too many imperfections for my liking. Put together so hard to return.
