Upon opening the number of pieces was a bit overwhelming but it took my husband and I right at two hours to do and not because of difficulty; you just need two sets of hands. A few of the screws wouldn't go in all the way but we discovered it was due to a wood shaving that didn't come loose when the hole was pre drilled; scraped it out with the screwdriver. No biggy! The quality is what I would expect for this price range. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and I love it! Someone else posted an actual pic of theirs and that is what convinced me to get mine so here is my personal pic. We just need baskets now :)
