My husband and I love this piece but were overwhelmed when it arrived. We ended up hiring someone from taskrabbit.com to help us assemble it which was well worth it. It's heavy and sturdy which we love but some edges were scuffed so we will have to go over it with a wood marker but overall it's great! One more thing, it only holds standard sized wine bottles in the cubby holes so don't go out and buy tons of various sized/shaped bottles or else they won't fit in the slots (I learned that lesson the hard way).
