Not a piece for someone who has never put together kit furniture before.  Lots of pieces and parts, but they do include a bag of extra pieces and that was a nice surprise.  The manufacturer did not drill any holes on the back where you attach the backing to the sides, so those needed to be drilled so we could attach the screws.  Some of the other holes that were drilled for some parts, were not drilled straight, but since we have done this type of kit before, we made it work.  It does look nice when it is completed and the finish is darker than what appears in the photo.
