Easy to assemble and instructions are very clear, but does take about 3 hours if you are assembling with a partner and you both take your time. Not the sturdiest piece of furniture but stable enough to hold a heavy 65" TV. Looks great if you like mid-century modern pieces; I've received plenty of compliments already! A lot of storage space, but does NOT have a hole to store/hide wires, so will need to drill in a hole yourself as I did. Overall, fine TV stand for the price.
