Although the instructions are vague  (only pics) it was able to be put together in about 2hrs and that was a solo mission. Item was well packed,however the inlays that the glass doors slide on were both cracked. The way they lay and have to be rubber malleted in though made them still functional. I recommend using a slotted and Phillips head bit in a drill for faster and easier setup. And watch the veneer as it does scratch easy with the pegs that stick out while you're placing the top on. All in all very good for $240 bucks.
