This came together so easily. The box is a little big and unwieldy, but I was able to put it together 100% by myself, in less than an hour, even while pregnant. It's a little more lightweight than I expected, but not flimsy. It looks elegant too. The one downside is that the side shelves are a little awkward - given the triangular shape, I'm not sure what one could put on them other than knickknacks. I haven't found a practical use for them yet.
