Relatively straight forward assembly. Included allen wrench but also need philips head screwdriver. Pay particular attention when putting the cabinet side of the drawer rails on the center piece; one side the screw alignment is different then the other and this is not overly obvious on the drawings unless you look very closely (of course not words on the assembly manual and never understand why). Drawer alignment is also slightly off but not very noticeable.  Slightly wobbly metal frame but if you set somethings on top of the console it is barely noticeable.
