Once assembled it looks good, seems pretty sturdy. It's tall enough for my roomba and my cats to get under which has become a consideration for all furniture I buy now. 

It was a long assembly. I don't hold that against it in my rating, I think it's to be expected of a piece of furniture that size and because it's a decent quality it can just take awhile to screw everything together. I cheated and used a drill in a few places but it can be done with a screwdriver. The instructions were mostly clear, and the pieces were mostly labeled.

The reason I took a star off is because the particle board backing that you slide into the place was cut so crooked the top couldn't even sit on the piece. Fortunately I was able to cut it down with an exacto knife and sanding paper so that it straight ish enough to get the top to sit right and be screwed down. It's a pretty major oversight in an otherwise well designed piece of furniture.
