This little bar cabinet took 2 of us HOURS to assemble (probably a total of 3-4 hours). There are A LOT of pieces to assemble, tons of screws. Be careful because if your screwdriver slips, you'll scratch the finish on the cabinet, which happened to us more than once. I had been looking for months for a similar cabinet and bought this one because it was on sale. Knowing what I know now, I would have gladly paid more money for a cabinet that is semi- or fully assembled. Sure we like how it looks now that it's completed, but quality isn't great and it's a little rickety. If you have the time and patience to assemble, and don't mind poor craftmanship, this is the cabinet for you.
