Ships as flat pack, so it's a lot of assembly with all three drawers.  I put it together with a manual screwdriver,  but recommend having an electrical driver to speed things up!  Plans are somewhat clear--a little confused as to which screws were which, I had to swap some around after putting the caster ones where the handle ones were supposed to go.  Was short one of the screws and also left with a lot of extra screws, dowels and pieces--so that was a little confusing.  Would also recommend that you insert the dowels more than half way when gluing them in, since I had to beat them down to insert the other piece, causing one dowel to split and the other dowel blew through/cracked the front Formica.  I'm fixing it, but it was a little disappointing.  I'd say if it weren't for those issues, it's a cute little unit that seems like it will last a good couple of years--not commercial grade, but alright little unit.
