Fairly easy to put together. I was impressed that the hardware came with a little baggie of "extra hardware" just in case and clearly written instructions with pics. I put it together in about an hour with a small electric screwdriver. The adjustable shelves make it perfect for different sized goods. I used it in my bathroom for odds and ends. The wood grain and design has a bit of a vintage feel. The only thing I wish I'd noticed is it is very low to the ground which works functionally, but a consideration for design or overall aesthetic. Good value.
