There were lots of parts, but had 2 experienced guys get it done in about 90 mins. Pay attention to the 3 large flat pieces (11, 11, 12) and make sure theyre flipped the right way or you lose the hinges for the middle door, unless you take it all apart basically. But I have an open space in the center, and it looks good for the price. Yes, flaws, a few gaps, and some nicks but all in all, it serves the purpose and looks nice!
