A beautiful piece of furniture.  4 stars (not 5) because it came in about 500 pieces and also is made of that fake wood.  But once I got it all put together, it looked really nice, just like the picture.  All you need is a screwdriver and a hammer.  The instructions are very easy to follow.  Time to assemble was probably 4-5 hours altogether; however, I did it over the course of 5 or 6 sittings, as time allowed after work.
