This was the easiest piece of furniture I've ever assembled!  Almost everything came attached together and you sort of pop it open and add a few more pieces.   Even the cabinet doors were pre-installed.  It looks great in my home and we're very pleased with it.  The only negative thing I've found is that the wood is soft.  There are lots of fine scratches on the top where my kids have slid the picture frames around.  The scratches didn't remove the paint, they are just slightly indented.
