Very nice piece. Instructions were clear enough, since Ive out together other pieces before. Having at least two people to put it together really helped - some of the pieces might be hard to do yourself. Two of the pieces were faulty but wayfairs replacement system was a breeze - have received one piece and still waiting on the other. As others have mentioned, you will want to finish the top piece to protect against stains etc. Otherwise a lovely, sturdy piece that I have enjoyed using for a week or so now. I love being able to open things from either side, the slide out side table, and the height (so my back doesnt hurt).
