I got this to match the coffee table and side tables, all in white.  It surpassed my expectations.  It looks great and is very sturdy.  I assembled it alone (44 year old woman).  Well, OK.  My 4 and 6 year old daughters helped me with set up and spatial relations, and of course, encouragement.  The assembly was reasonable.  It was difficult to shoehorn the back into the slots (I probably should have waited for help from Dad, but I was impatient) but I managed it with a flathead screwdriver used as a lever.  The hex tool that was included was a real bonus.  I've assembled a lot of furniture using allen wrenches, but this tool with an actual handle on it is far superior.
