This is a very good looking piece of furniture. As others have noted, it comes partially assembled  with the major portion of the unit (front and sides) folded flat using a set of hinges. Assembly from there was easy. However, one side of my unit had come apart either in shipping or as a result of a manufacturing error. I was able to fit the dowel-like connecting point back together, but it remained loose until I had attached the shelves and top. Overall, I am quite happy with the piece. It feels very solid and looks really good in the corner. Delivery (free) was excellent and timely vis FedEx ground in 2-3 days.
