Pros: sturdy, compact - good for small spaces, nice looking. It was not difficult to assemble, once you figure out the parts. 
Cons: parts are unmarked - alphabet stickers are included, but most parts are numbered and there is no numbers. It took a long time to sort through and arrange. 
Recommendation: you need a screwdriver (manual and low power electric), a mallet, and buy your own glue - the supplied glue comes in a bag and messy to use.
