It was quite easy to put together with the instructions and it’s a beautiful piece with a lot of storage- which is what we needed. I built it by myself with a teensy bit of help from my boyfriend to flip it over at one stage. 
However, some of the screw holes were not fully drilled and there were about 4-5 places on the wood that came chipped. It was really upsetting. Most of the chips wound up being on the inside of the island so it doesn’t show. But there was a big “chip spot” on the front under the drawers and there was a scratch on the wood top.
