Took a while to put together. Not a downside as I enjoy assembling things and it is rated a 5/5 for difficulty however I disagree with this as the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Looks great and holds alot! I really like it. The base isnt the sturdiest but when loaded up it does not wobble like it would if it was empty. Love the color I got. Shipped very fast and arrived in less than a week. Quite heavy package (138lbs) and would require 2 people to carry. I assembled most of it and had help at the end standing it up on its base. Quality product.
