Extremely happy with this bookcase. It was fairly easy to put together. Took me a little longer since I was putting it together myself. I would recommend a power drill for tightening some of the screws. I don't have the strength in my hands like I once did, so I found that helped. 
The bookcase is beautiful. I love having the cabinet doors for extra storage. If you are on the fence...I would highly recommend this bookcase.
