Assembly took less than 10mins. Measures true to description. This is solid. I bought this for outdoor use but, I live in Florida and looking at the grooves on the wheels I'm afraid other than under a covered porch, it may deteriorate faster from rain and humidity being that it is all wood. It's a dark walnut stain on the wood and my guest bedroom is the same color stain. So I placed it for seating along with some matching throw pillows to complete the rustic look in that room. The price is unbeatable. Shipping is always fast (ships from within the U.S.). And this is one of my trusted sites so, no worries with credit cards being hacked or my info being sold.
