Overall, this is a really beautiful piece of furniture and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I am a woman and was able to put it together by myself in about 5 hours lol.. with several breaks. I think if I had an electric screwdriver itd probably take far less time, maybe an hour and a half. There are a qazillion pieces.  Everything, is labeled and instructions are easy to follow. You WILL need your own tools, a Phillips screwdriver to be exact. I opted to not build the bottom frame, instead sitting it directly on the floor. I dont know how sturdy it would be had i built the bottom piece, but as is, its not going anywhere. Everything is level.  My only gripes, photos included, are 1. The stickers included are brown, not gray. So they dont match. Its ok, I kinda like the raw look of visible screws, reminds me how much work I put in. And 2. There is a ROCK lodged in one of the handles. I tried everything to get it out, but its stuck.
