Before the box is opened, make sure to have a DustBuster handy. Styrofoam looked like mice had been chewing it and small particles of Styrofoam went flying everywhere upon opening. Many, many parts of this were mislabeled and instructions were very difficult to read because they are so tiny. If you have assembled furniture before, you can figure it out. Took about 2 hours to assemble. Color is not as light as pictured. Much darker with very slight variation. In spite of this, it is a nice cabinet and it will serve its purpose well.
