relatively easy to put together, took about 45 minutes-1hour start to finish.  It is great for small spaces and very lightweight. Almost a little too lightweight - I am using 2 of these in my garage as a fake "mudroom" so the floors/walls arent all even, which makes these a little wobbly.  It comes with wall brackets to secure it to wall and I will have to use those.  Does not fit a regular adult size hanger on the hooks inside (not wide enough).  Shoe boxes are also very small - mens size 11's have trouble getting squeezed in there but it works sideways and one front/one backwards.  Overall good for smal spaces and random storage but not anything fancy or spacious.
