This looks nice and was easy to assemble. We got it in white color. The instructions say it would take 2 person to assemble and 40 minutes. I assembled it alone in 2 hours. I am not a fan of assembling things but this wasn't too bad to assemble. Height was perfect for our loft. The only downside is that it is matte finish, we wish it was glossy white, but then you can't beat the price. I would give it 5 star if they can make it glossy white at this or slightly higher price point.
