After reading other reviews I have to admit I was a bit hesitant to buy this product since many people noted how difficult it was to assemble.  However, I loved the look of it and the measurements were perfect for the space that  I wanted to put it in so I ordered it and couldn't be happier!  I love the way it looks, it serves its purpose, and it was not difficult at all to put together.  Believe me when I tell you neither my husband nor I are handy people.  Our tool box consists of a hammer and a few screwdrivers.  We were able to assemble this in about an hour without any mistakes or arguments. :)  If we can get through this, anyone can!  The only problem that I am currently having is finding storage baskets to fit in the 2 spaces above the hooks (were they show candles and books).  The depth of that area is small (about 6 inches).  Other than that, I love this product and would definitely recommend to anyone!
