This was a wonderful purchase for our vacation home.  Since we don't have a coat closet this was the next best thing.  I love the black finish and I bought baskets to fit in the cubbies.  Assembly was ok, I was patient and I made sure all of the pieces were in the box before putting it together.  It took about an hour to put together and you will need help with another person to pick up and turn over because the piece is heavy.  Overall it is perfect!
