Pros:  Although there were many pieces it was very easy to follow the pictorial directions and assemble in just short of 3 hours time.  Everything arrived well packaged with no damage.  What I love most is the size was perfect for my den and it is very functional with the drawers and shelves.
Cons:  My Dad would have been disappointed that I bought manufactured wood, and to be truthful, it is a little bit cheap.  Also, the back is basically thin cardboard that tacks on and it is very hard to get the tacks into the board and back without splitting the manufactured wood.  As I mentioned, assembly was very easy, but still I managed to get two chips after attaching the back despite being extra careful.  Luckily, the chips don't show.  Overall, I gave a 4 as I felt I got what I paid for.
