SO easy to put together. It is truly a gorgeous piece. Possibly my favorite purchase from Wayfair to date. We are using it to hold our 55" tv and it adds a traditional element to our glam decor that is so stunning. Be aware that there are some reddish splotches which they added for a deconstructed vibe. I happen to love the way it looks but if you are looking for a clean polished piece - you may not appreciate that. Will add a picture soon!
