The unit arrived complete and in perfect condition. It is made out of soft, pine wood so you have to be carefull because it scratches easily. Some of the dowels do not align perfectly with the pre-drilled holes so expect some adjustments. I recommend using lots of wood glue to strenghten the unit, and make sure to sand away the finish where the parts are to be joined to insure proper bonding. All in all, a nice retro-looking unit for the price if you get it on sale.
