Honestly, it took me 4 hours to put together by myself. I looks gorgeous. The package was very well protected so the furniture was not damaged during freight. The wood is very paper thin but i knew that in advance. I put the wrong screw in one of the holes and it broke thru the paper. I was able to glue it back and patch up the white with a furniture pen. So just be careful when you put it together. Dont be like me and not read. READ it will save you some time.
