I bought this in the acorn finish. It arrived quickly and was very securely packaged. I was able to put it together myself, although I'm an "old pro" at furniture assembly and you might need two people. The wood looks kind of "pieced together" in places and I wish the screws on the sides had covers for a more finished appearance. However, that being said, I am still very pleased. Also, West Elm has the exact same piece for over $400 more!!!
