It was so easy to put together it was ridiculous! Love that it is glass as it ramps up the look of the piece. It is just the right size for my small apartment and I use each of the 3 shelves to display my favorite pieces - a medium size vase on top, a 8x10 framed picure on the second and a medium/large pottery bowl on bottom. Wish I had another corner as I would buy another! No hesitation for this price.
