I was worried that it would be difficult to assemble, but it wasn't complex. There were a lot of steps (especially nailing the back on) but they were straightforward and made sense. I think the first instruction had one vague statement about where to insert the cams that should be clarified. The cabinet doors have screw adjustments to make sure they are straight and meet correctly after installation, so that was a non-issue! Overall, I was pleased with the way the cabinet went together easily. The other reviews had me worried, but everything went together nicely. I only needed a Phillips Head Screw Drive and a hammer to assemble. One tip, the bottom shelf should be installed with the tiny holes on the bottom at the front of it to allow attaching the trim in a later step. A worthwhile purchase in my opinion!
