Easy to put together if you follow directions. It took 2 of us. Not top quality but very nice for the price. Had 3 damaged pieces and 1 missing part. So we ordered replacement parts and received them in about 1 12 weeks. (Note...You can only get 4 parts max.)  Really like the black with oak top. Looks sharp and we've had several compliments already. Looks great in my kitchen. Nice piece.
