Not to hard to assemble. Very stylish looking and holds Tons of stuff!! It has not tipped over and believe me, it is loaded with winter coats, hats, scarf, and hoodies. One day here is 10 degrees and the next it's 55 so we need all of those items handy! I have been looking all over for a coat rack that was sturdy. Finally I have found it. Also, the shipping was SO fast! Love this company!!
