Took me about 1.5 hours to assemble.  Is a little darker than image but looks very nice and more expensive than it is.  Beware of putting electronics in the closed cabinet as my stereo receiver now overheats; even with doors open. I've installed a small exhaust fan at the rear to fix that.  A few pieces were hard to assemble with one person doing it.  Otherwise I like the furniture and looks more expensive than it is.  Fit perfectly into the corner, not a great deal of storage but plenty for a smaller DVD collection
