It was easy to assemble!  However, the pressed wood shelving has a strong chemical odor that has not dissipated fully after 4 days.  I hope it will over time and with plenty of cross ventilation and Febreeze.  In addition, there is no cross bracing so I don't feel it is as sturdy for heavy loads as it is rated.  The span across the front or back of the shelving is significant enough that the shelving can gap away from the frame upon which they sit in spots.  I wish I had purchased and fully metal version with cross bracing.
