I've put together LOTS of furniture and this was pretty easy. But I could not get the legs to snug up against the shelf and drawer. Maybe the dowels were too long?  As a result, the drawer wobbles on its tracks and if you look closely, you can see there's space between the legs and the drawer. I just needed something between two chairs to put a coffee cup on, and this fills the bill. But if you need something really sturdy that'll stand up to some use, I'd look further.
