I assembled this alone except for when I had to put the large piece together and stand it upright. It took me 4 hours. There were many, many, many pieces and I was surprised at how fragile the particle board is. There are few if any wood pieces. I had to use extreme care when aligning and assembling to avoid damaging. It arrived damaged-an entire chunk missing from the back of the sliding door so the roller hardware had nowhere to be installed-I really hope it holds up because I made an accommodation. It looks great but I really hope it doesn’t get bumped because it will nickgouge VERY easily. I had to use a furniture marker on two areas already. The color is darker than the web photo but it still works well in the room. It is not level and needs further adjustment at the legs. Overall I’d say it was over priced for the quality
