I didn’t put it together myself. Didn’t have the time I’m a OTR truck driver. Overall the shelf looks amazing hanging on my wall. Instructions on Wayfair were helpful to person who put the wall unit together for me. Everything was delivered via FedEx the boxes were ripped in few spots but the packaging was put together good with styrofoam inside to protect corners and sides no damage to the shelf. There was one scratch but nothing too noticeably.
