My husband put this together in about 2 minutes! It was very simple - however we noticed the labels on the top piece that should match with the bottom were swapped, so it just took a second for us to figure out how to click it into place.  (The instructions said something like A goes with C, and B goes with D - but it was A with B and C with D, for example.) Once that was figured out, it fit. It is a tad crooked, like others have mentioned in their reviews, but all I had to do was turn it around so it leaned a little toward the wall and no one can see it.  The manufacturer should revisit how it's put together so they can avoid it being crooked.  It could possibly be the wood that is warped, it's just hard to tell. I also wish it were a bit shorter...but other than that we love it! It would have 5 stars if it were not crooked.
