Assembly was fine, but there is a strong off-gas. Had to keep it in another room for a couple weeks. It's is getting better, but it is taking a while. Another issue, there are places that look cracked, both on the back of the curved surface of the front and on the inside of the lid.  One had a QC sticker on it that I wasn't sure if QC had approved it or not.  I took some wood glue to it anyway. Also, my laundry bags don't fit over the top, so I just leave it inside: just a minor inconvenience.  It looks better than what I had before.
