Ok, so total assembly was not bad under half an hour. We still haven’t hung it yet we are trying to find it’s perfect spot. The instructions are adequate if you are a visual learner or have built things in the past. My partner is confident that hanging will be a breeze. The loss of a Star was due to things not totally lining up, some gapping on the front near the doors, and the fast that the doors don’t stand flush with the face of the piece they tip back. It is pretty I’m still excited about it! Great mail and keys table!
