We were utterly amazed at how easy and quick this was to put together! Not only that, this thing is super sturdy!  When they say assembly takes only ten minutes, they werent lying. The longest thing to assemble was attaching the door handles. Everything slides together and locks in place with special fasteners. You will need to have strong thumbs or a flathead to slide them in place, but other than that, super easy.  I feel like this item will last a long time. I have a 55 TV sitting on it and have no worries about warping. The top is super solid. Overall, very happy with this purchase. Great deal for the cost and ease of assembly.
