This is even more beautiful in person! I hired a tasker from task rabbit to put this together and he did it in 3.5hrs!! He actually had a furniture assembly business and was not intimidated by the 30pg instruction manual and breezed right through!! I thought I could figure it out myself and was being cheap…so I didn’t purchase assembly through Wayfair…I should have. This is very intimidating to put together for someone with zero power tool experience. I would highly recommend!!! It’s a great alternative to those bulky entertainment units and the compartment at the bottom hides all the cables!!
