Assembly instructions were very good, easy to follow! Pre-drilled holes all lined up, too, making assembly quite easy. A second pair of hands at times is quite helpful. My teen age daughter and I put it together in about 3 hours, including breaks. Only drawback was we could not get the doors to hang/align completely; one side is a bit off. I suspect the thin stamped metal recessed hinges are the culprit as they bend under slight torquing. But for the price, a nice piece of furniture to hold our dining linens and keep some other small kitchen appliances out of sight.
