The assembly instructions were intimidating but it ended up being fairly easy to assemble.  I actually did it all myself until the top was placed on the base.  That required 2 people.  I think it's a good value and a great buy.  My husband, who is about 6 feet tall, bumps his knees on the shelves when he pulls his chair in all the way so I can't give it a full rating because of that.

Pros: Great Value
Cons: If you are tall the shelves may affect you.
