The construction was not simple, but someone who has put together a furniture should be able to do it without much problem. It’s pretty heavy, which was good. It wouldn’t budge and was stable when I put my printer on top. It does feel cheap, especially when I try to pull the drawers out. It’s not as smooth as ikea drawers. I have slight anxiety as to how much pulling in and out it can take before it breaks. It looks good as a furniture, but probably not as functional as other brands are.
