It is very easy to put together and looks nice in the space in my room.  I am using it to  hold my television so it sits high but I measured the shelves out so I was prepared to place it on the top shelf.  I only have one small issue.  The screws do not come with white sticker covers to place over them.  It's a tiny thing but those white stickers go a long way to make the piece of furniture look less cheap.
