The assembly was super easy. I've never assembled furniture before and had no problem. The problem was there were defects in the material. I ordered two of these. In one, there was a nail that went in the top too far and blocked me from screwing one of the hex screws in. In the other one, the part that should receive the screw was not in the wood. So both of my mini closets are missing one screw each. Overall, I'll probably keep both because they serve their purpose, but don't expect this thing to last years.
