Took 2 to put together, but probably could have been done by 1. Looks totally fine and is a nice size for a 55 inch tv with enough space for a lamp at the side. The wood looks solid and not cheap. The 3 sections are useful for 2 game consoles and cable box. It would be useful to have more holes for the cables to go directly in between the sections instead of going out and then back in from the back. The sliding doors mean you can only have access to one section at a time.
