This was not easy (at least for me) to put together.  There is a gap in the front that I can't quite figure out how to close.  But even though its not very noticeable, I followed the directions (which were better than I expected) to the tee.  It looks good in the space and I can't complain. I would recommend this product overall, but have a handyman help you put it together.  This is big enough and expensive enough that you don't want to wing it like I did.  :)
