Fairly simple to assemble, less than 1 hour with help. It’s looks like the online picture. A bit disappointed in the metal legs. They look a bit cheap to me. There are straps for securing to the wall but I didn’t use. All in all I will enjoy this and it’s not heavy so it can be moved as needed. I’d say buy it if you like the look and aren’t concerned that it doesn’t look like heavy iron and real wood. It won’t fool anyone but all in all it’s attractive and sturdy.
