Lots of parts to assemble. Took my husband 2.5 hours to assemble which made him unhappy but the parts were labeled very well and the directions fairly clear. One piece was mislabeled with its opposite piece but other than that the other pieces were labeled correctly. Make sure you have a drill or power screwdriver. I bought the mahogany and swapped the dull knobs that came with it for some brushed nickle ones. The wood looked thirsty so I used some Old English scratch cover on the whole surface then buffed it with a cloth and it looks really beautiful now. The drawers all slide in and out well though they are a little loose. All in all great product as its all wood and wood with veneer. I have this in my great room, hope it holds up well.
