Fairly easy to put it together considering there were many parts. I love the look of it and how it goes great with the other pieces within this collection. The only thing I have a complaint about is that is didn't come with a bracket to secure the shelf to the wall. It definitely should have as one small shack or a  child pulling on it would cause it to fall over. Very unsafe but an easy fix on my end. I was just surprised it didn't come with one.
