Exactly what I had hoped for! Didnt take too long to put together, maybe an hour. Instructions were fairly clear. My only advice to anyone is make sure you lay the pieces on something soft, like your couch or the styrofoam pieces that come un the box. I have hardwood floors and laid them all down when I was assembling. Unfortunately there are a good amount of scratches all over now because the smallest rub against the floor scratched the "wood grain" look off.
