It was somewhat hard to assemble as the instructions were not very clear. It was a few pages of drawings without words and some of the illustrations were too tiny to interpret easily.  I did get it put together by myself and the unit seems like it will be fine as extra storage for office items. However, the file drawer could be a little deeper to allow the file folders to hang without hitting the bottom and then curving up a tiny bit. The rod they sit on should be flat and not rounded. I like the design of the unit and look forward to putting my extra office materials in it so I can tidy up my office space which happens to be in my bedroom.
