I was amazed at how quickly it was delivered and the delivery man was very helpful. Since I am not able to do a lot of bending and heavy lifting, I hired an experienced carpenter to assemble it for me and it took him one hour. The server is fairly stable once all the pieces are in. It is not pure white and has a distressed look, which is not in the description. It serves the purpose that I bought it for and is just the right size for the room. Overall a good value for the cost.
