It is assembled in two parts, top and bottom. The top is then placed on the bottom. This assembly is not plumb, and it throws off the alignment of the doors and drawers. Additionally, The drawer fronts will not stay on as the connecting hardware (cams and their shafts) are of poorer quality than any of those supplied in previous flat packs I assembled. I have it in my kitchen with the part letter stickers still on, makes an interesting conversation piece.
