I ordered the dark gray version  - and love it! I was pleasantly surprised that it arrived early, super quick shipping! And it's actually more beautiful in person. It feels quality made and sturdy. As far as putting it together, it's actually fairly easy, it does come with a lot of stuff - but that's mostly for the boards that go across. It's pretty much a two person job, and took us about 2 - 2.5 hours. And, for the price, you can't beat it, it looks very mid-century chic, which I'm in love with. Overall, I'm very happy and impressed with this piece, and would definitely order from this site again.
