Better to pay for assembly or have at least 2 people doing it. You have to look really closely in the instructions, and if you miss something, redoing it is a pain. A lot smaller than I projected it ( I’m not really good going just by measurements) I thought it was going to cover more of our corner, but it will do the job. We originally ordered the gray one, but it was back ordered to months later, so we ended up getting the brown and black one, and it’s ok. Wish was gray to match the rest of the furniture, but it looks good still.
