This was fairly easy to assemble, it took 2 people 30-45 minutes to put together. We ordered the ‘Black/Brown’ u it which has black metal and laminated mdf in a dark wood stain. It’s sturdy and very attractive. We moved into a townhome temporarily while we build our new house, and my teenage son needed additional closet space. He is very neat and tidy, and design conscious, so this closet system had the perfect look for his room. I love how many shelves there are, you can also place hooks on the top bars on each side for additional hanging space. If you live in a small space, this is a great solution!
