It takes a very long time to assemble but it is pretty easy to do and it is definitely worth it. It looks great and it is very study. The shipping was quick. However, parts of this cabinet are scuffed up and I'm not sure how to fix it. The drawers are pretty stiff and require a good push to completely close but maybe it'll get smoother with time. Also, the knobs are a muted gold compared to the handle but that's not all that noticable. Overall, it is a great statement piece of furniture if you're on a budget, but if you are bothered by small imperfections then this is not for you.
