The cabinet came already assembled, and very well packed. I'll say along with many others that the photo is not representative of its actual color, which is white. I happened to have two brushed nickel knobs from another project that fit perfectly, and that made it look much nicer. This cabinet is extremely sturdy, and I am extremely happy with it. I will say though, that the larger rolls of toilet paper do not fit, which is one of the reasons I bought it. I'll live with that though, because this is such an awesome little cabinet.
