This is a very nice piece of furniture. It comes totally disassembled and you must follow the instructions closely. The first one received was damaged in shipping. The top and bottom boards were split in shipping. We promptly reported it and the staff in customer service were awesome. The were quick to address the issue and arrange for a new one to be sent. The second one arrived a week later and had some damaged boards but we were able to use parts from the original. My husband and I worked 3-4 hours to assemble, we are an older couple and it was not easy for us but we were able to get some help and you can see how nicely it turned out. Again customer service at Way Fair exceeded all expectations.
