This was surprisingly easy to put together. While it did come with a lot of pieces, they were all clearly labeled and I found that the pictures were very helpful. This piece looks so nice and appears to be quite sturdy. Like previous reviewers commented, the slide for wine glasses is very narrow, so if you have larger bases on your wine glasses they will not fit. This wasn't a huge issue for me as I just put my smaller glasses in the slide and will store the larger ones on top or on the shelves. Very happy with this piece!
