No need for power tools, just make sure you follow the instructions. Love the color, no scratches or anything wrong with the wood. One of the hinges to attach the door was damaged, so it doesn’t close all the way, but it’s barely noticeable. Overall super happy with my purchase. Haven’t moved it since I built it, (I usually like to re-arrange annually) so I don’t know how it will withstand the dragging across the room, lol!
