This product requires some assembly - 10 minutes or so. You may find you'll need a hammer for part of it - the instructions don't tell you that. As far as these types of self-assembly furniture pieces go, this one is great!! Compared to already-built products, this one is just good. It looks nice once assembled, but was slightly wobbly (a minor inconvenience solved by sticking a tiny square folded paper underneath one of the feet). Well worth the price.
