Beautiful accent to our living room. Boyfriend is pretty patient but it took him a few hours to assemble on his own.  The only issue is that the parts do not make for a tight assembly, and the top part kind of shifts. It may need occasional adjusting.  He said that there’s no reason that the top part should be 3 pieces. It’s probably in three pieces so that it fits in a box and they can ship it cheaper. 
The fact that the top is not one piece makes for a slightly flawed design. 

Beautiful nonetheless.
