It Took My Husband And I Two Hours To Put Together, Not Too Bad! The Directions Have Visual Cues, No Written But If You Go Slow Its Pretty Easy :) Everything Fit And Worked Properly, The Unit Is Really Nice. The Pieces And Parts Are Great Quality. It Is A Cappuccino Color Which Is Very Dark Brown - In Low Light It Almost Looks Black. It Is A Little Smaller Than We Thought But We Really Only Paid Attention To The Length - So If Your Looking For A Taller Unit Triple Check The Dimensions. Shelves And Drawers Are Sturdy And The Unit Is Level. Overall This Is A Great Buy, We Are Glad That We Purchased It - Thanks Wayfair For Another Great Experience!
