It took 3+ people over 4 hours to put this together.  I read all the reviews and we were careful and well thought out... so we didn't have to un-do/re-do anything like some folks.  I love that it is a TRUE ESPRESSO.  The main photo almost looks Walnut.  It isn't.  It IS ESPRESSO.  Goes with everything.  I am very happy.  

Pros: Love it!
Cons: Long assembly time, Espresso color - not Walnut like in main photo.
