The package came very quickly and it was fairly easy to assemble. you do need two people for the first step. i believe i was able to assemble with in 20 minutes or so. it is solid would and the height was just what i was looking for its perfect...aside from the finish. it is unfinished and although the picture seems to have a worn out look to me it did come unfinished. no big deal this just means i get to be creative with it =) pros: very easy to assemble, sturdy, solid woodcons: no color options, unfinished
