It was easy to assemble, however once assembled the door did not line up properly. The stove eyes broke off almost immediately, which is a huge bummer! The kitchen itself isn't very cute, and so far my girls have played with it regardless. My husband is very good with these things, and will find a way to make it work. I did purchase off of Zulily on one of there sales, and I'm sure it's a reject or something, and if that's the case it should be listed when purchasing.
