Super easy to put together.  Looks great in our front hall and fits our kid's school books and library books easily.  Top shelf shown is shallower than expected, but we had a basket that could fit.  The sliding doors were even assembled by my 6 and 3 year old - instructions were so easy and effective.  They slide really well.  Cushion is very comfy.  Has a paisley pattern that is hard to see in the photo.
