My husband griped a lot about not being "allowed" to use a power drill while putting it together, but it really didn't take him that long. The piece is beautiful and spacious, and feels very high-quality. The top has wood-grain texture without being rough and catching fabric. The doors have soft close pads to attach to them to avoid banging shut. Everything lines up well and the lines are smooth. There was a tiny chip of paint on the front of one door, but nothing that can't be fixed with half a drop of white polish. I'm very in love with this piece!
