I have put together dozens of self-assemble furniture from computer workstations to basic shelf units by major manufacturers like Ikea, O'Sullivan, etc.  This unit was one of the best, from the packaging to the instructions, everything was superior.  The whole process took just about two hour, even with coffee breaks!  Fit and finish is very good for self assemblked furniture.  As far as durability... time will tell!Pros: Sturdy, nice build. Easy to understand instructions. Cons: Provided tools could have been designed to be a bit more ergonomic.
