I was very impressed with the assembly instructions and the quality of the cabinet as I was assembling it. It went together without incident although it did take every bit of 3 hours to assemble; so wait until you have a free afternoon to put it together. With the addition of two cooling fans mounted on the sturdy back panel behind my very hot tube power amp, this cabinet is exactly what I have needed for my vintage stereo system. The fit and finish is excellent and I couldn't be more satisfied. It will make a very attractive addition to any room.
