Easy to assemble, took like 10-15 minutes but someone with experience it should only take 5 minutes. Looks really nice, modern and simple. The marble base makes it extremely sturdy.. but it is quiet big and rounded (35cm) so I advise you to take measurements before you want to put it into a narrow hallway, I have had put it into a narrow hallway and its still fits but it is just about.. ) In summary it is a great coat stand and it is definitely worth it.
