Very pretty piece, but assembly is a process. It took quite some time. There are plastic pieces that are supposed to be screwed into the back. The screws are not long enough to get into the backing and I did not understand the purpose of them except to keep it from rubbing against the wall. I didn’t plan on pushing it all the way to the wall so I left them off and skipped that step. Beautiful piece of furniture and I am happy with my purchase.
