I am a woman and put this together myself sitting on the floor the whole assembly.  It is packaged very well and I had a time getting it out of the box.  The predrilled holes were a little hard to find but following the instructions line by line showed them after using my cell phone flashlight.  The assembly was not difficult.  The most challenging part was putting the back cover on as it did not have predrilled holes.   After trying to drill the screws with no predrilled holes, I settled on McGyvering the back panel and it is just as good and Im satisfied.  The cabinet is sturdy.  Well made and looks good and compliments other items I have in my home. I bought this cabinet for bedside books and stow away for things I always put on dresser to clear clutter.  I am pleased with my purchase.
