Assembly instructions call for 2 people to put this TV stand together. I didn't have 2 people. It took me exactly 3 hours to assemble it. Looks really nice, and it is longer than it appears in the picture. There are so many fasteners that it's best to follow the instructions step by step. One of the glass doors did not fit exactly right, but it's not noticeable. 

I have to reiterate it again, assembly is definitely not for "beginners". There are instructions uploaded here, take a look, and decide if you're up for the job.
