Very easy to assemble according to my husband.  We ordered 2, one for each shower.  They were a bit too large for our shower trays due to the edge of the shower tray being cyrved slightly, so I used them as my benches on the front porch, and they look fantastic with a very warm, Zen feel.  The wood is beautifully varigated!  I liked them so much, I plan to order the smaller version for the showers.
