Now the sideboard is built it is really good quality and sturdy, I am very pleased with it. However, it was advertised as part self assembly - it was totally flat pack. It was very heavy and difficult to handle. The instructions say it should take two people two hours to build. I live alone but luckily my nephew and his wife are staying with me for a few months. They are experienced with flat pack goods but even they struggled. In the end it took three of us four hours plus one of us one hour the following morning to assemble.
