the directions for assembly were simple but it required two people to assemble. Our first one arrived damaged on the underside of the top. Didnt notice the Crack in the top until after assembly. Customer service was amazing very quick to deal with. They ended up not having replacement parts and sent me a whole new unit. Looks great in our living room, but only comes with two hold drilled in the back for electronics we had to drill a few extra of our own.
