This took me nearly 2 hours to put together and that was with help. Also comes with lots and lots of pieces so your definitely going to need some patience on this one. Another thing I did not like is that when screwing in some of the screws the finish kept chipping off so you most certainly need to be extra gentle. the doors were difficult to adjust if you do not adjust perfectly they will not shut so perfecting the doors was time-consuming, the doors should come with magnets to keep them firmly closed. All in all once put together it was a good piece. I like the shiny finish on the doors and on the trim very nice.
