Assembling knocked down furniture is always a chore but it has to be done.  The printed instructions were clear and easy to follow.  Because of interruptions, it took six days to finally stand the thing up in it's planned location.  Since I bought two units, for a matching pair, the second one is still in it's box.

Pros: These types of furniture alwlys good when fully assembled.
Cons: Nicks and scratches are difficult to hide or cover up.
