Overall I am pleased with the item.  Directions say it takes 1 hour to assemble,  it took me 2 1/2 but in fairness that could just be me. That said there were some issues with assembly, for example the back panel required 32 screws and only 6 were predrilled.  This required extra time.  Also the drawer that slides didn't close properly and the slide brackets came pre-assembled so this was not my error.  The item was packed very well and once assembled its very sturdy and attractive.  Overall I am satisfied and would recommend this item.
