Assembly was easy, though it takes some time. Instructions were easy to follow and surprisingly funny. It says this in the description but I totally missed it: this herringbone pattern on the door is just on one side, so you can decide if you want that or just a solid wood look. Nice feature! I've never put something like this together, so was expecting the door and track part to be hard to do, and was probably the easiest part of assembling the whole thing.
