Lovely piece....You will need @ least 2 people to assist with assembly to avoid scratching any pieces.  It took me 5 straight hours to put together solo.  Also remember when placing the top front piece with the wood design, that there is no top or bottom wording on the back.  I put it all together and now have 3 small holes at the very bottom of the top front piece where I should have flipped it to line up with screws from the underside.  I did not realize this until after I was done.  I am 'not' taking it back apart.  All that being said...it is the centerpiece of that room...just dim the lights and you won't see the 3 holes! :)
