Pretty easy to put together,  but directions are not helpful- I mixed up the orientation/ direction of how everything lined up several times because the pictures at some points are actually wrong. Be sure to line up ALL the cam lock screws BEFORE you put in the screws because this piece relies HEAVILY on them.   Many will be loose and the whole thing sways until the back us nailed in - it's a good thing they give you A LOT of screws!  But it looks good and so far so good on the sturdiness.
