Love it! I read all the reviews and here is my experience. I am a 48 year old woman and was able to unbox it and assemble it myself. I did need another person to help me with turning it right side up after assembly. I checked before I started to make sure all the pieces (including hardware) were there. They were. Followed instructions and it was easy. Assembled the piece seems sturdy and well built. I read reviews that the front board was not sturdy. I do agree that it could be a thicker piece of wood. I have sat on it, so far so good. It's appearance is lovely, I bought the Charcoal Gray and the it looks great. I was glad that I read the reviews as it is a large piece, so I made sure I measured. Glad I purchased it. I hope it lasts!
