Easy to assemble. The directions to affix it to the wall were lacking, and required a bit of ingenuity on our part to line everything up. The doors are slightly taller than the openings I’m guess thats to make it easy to open. But really limits where things can be placed on top. The dark brown color looks like it’s slightly scratched but it’s part of the design I guess. Overall I would not repurchase and probably splurge on a more sleeksound unit.
