It was fairly hard to put together, easy to install certain parts backwards or upside down. Some reviewers complained that predrilled holes did not line up or the drawer did not shut properly. By carefully checking the pictures in the instructions I was able to avoid these problems, but I am sure the complainers had installed things improperly because there is so little text in the instructions. Also, the instructions predicted one hour to assemble. I am a handy guy. Built my own house, every stick of it. It took me four hours to assemble the cabinet. having said all this the finished product is great. Handsome looking, well built.
