Very nice. Not bad to assemble at all. Longer than I expected, but still pretty easy. A little smaller than what I thought, but it fits lovely in my nook space and really completes the look. Love it! Make sure you pay attention to what size screws go where during assembly and if you have an adjustable torque on your drill, you can use it to assemble as long as you turn the the torque down to around 40. Otherwise, hand, elbow grease and a screwdriver will do.
