We absolutely love this piece! Lots of storage capabilities and the perfect size and height. We have gotten a ton of compliments on it! When I bought it I was nervous about the assembly, due to other peoples reviews. But in all reality it wasn't that difficult to put together. The instructions were very detailed and went in appropriate order. Yes, it did take almost two hours to put together, but that's what you should expect when you are putting together a large piece of furniture with many build details. Overall, so happy with my purchase!
