It’s actually a beautiful well made piece! I got this for my mom in law for her birthday as I am slowly trying to upgrade her apartment with kool stuff from Wayfair. Assembly wasn’t difficult, it does takes two people. Only tools you’ll need are a hammer and a screwdriver. After my husband and I assembled it she was so pleased with the finish and in no time she started to pack all her shoes in it lol.. I would recommend this piece.
