I bought the cabinet to match the Lamantia Desk my son bought for me.  Both pieces are black and beautiful.  They were basically very easy to put together.  I am a 68 year old woman, almost 69 living by myself and hadthem fully put together in two days.  Because of my age, I worked on them for a while and then would stop and rest.  So if you are younger, you should have them put together faster then that.  I love them.  They are beautiful and if my camera was working I would take a pitcher and include it.  I don't take good pictures with my cell phone.  I will add a better picture, if and when I get my camera fixecd.
