Although the assembly was a bit challenging for one person, the end result is well worth the time.  Make sure to insert the screws at 90 degrees and it's smooth sailing.  Seem quite durable and is a nice addition to the living room furniture.  My husband preferred the darker color grey but the lighter color brightens up the room somewhat.  Recommend!

Pros: Durable finish, good looking piece of furniture 
Cons: A bit challenging to assemble due to many pieces
