For the price, this was a good deal. It wasn't too difficult to assemble, but just make sure you're in the mood to do it. There are a lot of pieces which can be overwhelming if you're not mentally prepared for the task. Others have said that the back is a little bland, and I agree. There are 3 empty panels. I used chalkboard paint in one, and put up a weekly menu and I put a magnet board in the other. Still looking for something fun to put in the other panel. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.
