Beautiful piece for the money but very time consuming to assemble. Some pieces didnt have the correct holes drilled for the screws, some holes were too big and the screw wouldnt hold pieces together, so it was alot of work and modification to get this together. You definitely need 2 people, some power tools, and some wood glue. Once you assemble the nook, it would be impossible to take it apart and move it to another location bc some of the screws were already stripped or holes had to be filled with glue to hold together. For the money though, you can't beat it! It's beautiful and pretty sturdy for a bunch of kids to use at breakfast.
