We just received this credenza today, and it came fully assembled.  We just LOVE it.   There is a paint scrub on the top front edge, which I didn't notice at first, but a little white paint should fix that up.  The back of the bottom shelf has badly cracked paint, but it won't be seen at the back of the cupboard.  It is narrow (which I wanted), but my over-sized dinner plates fit just fine.  LOVE this purchase!
