Very easy to put together. It's a good weight; not extremely heavy but has some weight to it that it still feels solid and sturdy. The wheels are plastic and I though they might make an annoying sound on the hardwood but they roll very smoothly and it doesn't make a sound. I fit 12 pairs of shoes and definitely have some extra space. Make sure you have some height under your bed (my bed is 10-in off the ground. The rack and a pair of ankle boots still fit).
