I was extremely impressed with the manufacturing of this item.  The instructions were great.  There wasn't one piece missing and everything was lined up exactly and it was packaged perfectly to protect it in shipping.  It is a really nice, sleek unit.  It took me a few hours to put together because I couldn't find my best screwdriver and my eyes aren't as good.  I would have to say it was the best and easiest piece of furniture I have ever put together.  I'm a 72 year old female by the way.  I have always put things together because my husband never liked reading directions - typical.
