The most noticeable thing is that it took a few hours to put together.  The steps are very detailed, although could be improved a little in a place or two.  Don't think the material quality is that great but it does look good once you finish putting it together.  Regarding the site info, it does not mention that you need a drill, but you do, to finish drilling the holes in the main piece, don't see why it couldn't have been done by the manufacturer.
