IT TOOK FOUR HOURS TO ASSEMBLE, AND STILL REMAINS WOBBOLY ! I AM GOING TO HAVE TO ANCHOR IT TO THE WALL BEFORE I CAN PUT ANYTHING ON IT. EVERYTHING FROM THE SHELF FRONTS, THE TOP AND BOTTOM, AND THE BACK PANEL HAD TO BE ASSEMBLED ONE SCSREW AND DOWEL PEG AT A TIME FOR EVERY SINGLE PIECE. IT'S PRETTY, AND WILL BE FUNCTIONAL. I WOULDN'T ORDER IT AGAIN WITHOUT ASSEMBLY.
