I love this piece of furniture however I found assembling this bookshelf was difficult to align by myself.  Assembling things, especially furniture is a hobby of mine so I am not a novice.  Ultimately, I was upset because one of the drawers didn't fit, after rearranging drawers I was able to make it work without looking too noticeable.  Definitly get help with this one from the beginning, great piece of furniture otherwise.
