Although it's a hassle to assemble, it looks nice afterwards.  Just a side note I wanted the open cubby space on the opposite side so I had to completely disassemble/reassemble in reverse.  Only other issue is that it is tricky to lift the lid while maintaining a level surface.  Overall worth it though.  Just an addition... Fiberboard needs to be handled gently, but Wayfair resolved all my issues quickly and painlessly.
