Putting this together was no small feat.  Although the instructions were spot on, it was a two person job.  There was one piece that we put in upside down only because I didn't pay attention to top and bottom; you basically put this together upside down.  I also didn't care for how the back assembled (cheap backing material and trying to get them slide into grooves that weren't stationary was difficult).  But overall a nice piece of heavy furniture.  It has lots of little parts which I put in a muffin try to keep track of.
