It was not that bad assembling lots of reviews said it was difficult I didnt think it was, easier with 2 people. Couldn't attach the bottom piece to raise it higher because slimmer screw holes were off. Sits very low without itMounting made it unstable had to level it out myselfWhen hubby sits on it it creeks he is 230 lbsSo....but although smaller than what I wanted it definitely cute and adds character to any space but I don't think it will hold up for high traffic and rough areas fair pricedWe shall see !
