It wasn't very easy to put together, however, I think it looks good and hides the commuter perfectly. We had to take the top shelves out so we could fit the monitor. Just to let you know the front comes with a protective plastic film which you are meant to peal off once you have assembled the unit. Its not a fault on the unit, its meant to peal off. The only thing that stops me from make this a five stare is that the pull out deck does not feel very sturdy which can be worrying with small children.
