I love the piece but it took forever to put together and is very heavy.  I am a 5' 0" petite girl and the box was bigger than I am. I live in an apartment on the top floor and the box was so heavy that I could barely shimmy it into my apartment. I had to take some of the pieces out of the box at the bottom of my stairs before being able to carry the box up by myself. Thankfully a friend came over and helped me put it together. I never would have been able to put this thing together on my own! It took the both of us about 4 hours to put it together. It is a beautiful piece, once it is assembled. The only other negative I would have is that the door doesn't close properly no matter how much you mess with it.
