Good looking design in a functional, affordable piece of furniture. Straightforward assembly with with a screwdriver and hammer, and only a couple of minor quibbles: 1.) One screw hole on the base was not aligned properly, so it made assembly a little difficult, but only for that piece, and 2.) I was unfamiliar with how to adjust the door hinges, so it took a couple of beats to figure out how to set those correctly, as the instruction manual wasn't particularly clear on those. All told, maybe 2-1/2 hours assembly from start to finish. The hardware pieces even come sorted in their own individually sealed pockets, making access and identification that much easier. Yes, it's particle board with a laminate cover, but a very good value for the price.
