Not too hard to put together. Had to take a few sections apart and redo them but I've never put anything together before. Everything lined up for me unlike what other people said in their reviews. Overall it's a decent piece of furniture for the price. It's made of plywood so it scratches easily which I learned the hard way. I will likely paint it as I don't really like the color now that I see it with my stuff. Also the holes where the cords go out the back are upside down and its not possible to change that which irritates me but oh well.
