I put this together in about 1-1/4 hours.  It wasn't that difficult, but I find it to be kind of wobbly.  I'm used to putting this type of furniture together and as long as you pay attention to the pictures and assemble slowly, it's fairly easy since the parts are numbered...well they are supposed to be.  This unit LOOKS great, but I don't it's that sturdy.  I made sure everything was plenty tight put together correctly.
