Just took this out of the box and it was fairly easy to assemble for my husband. There was a piece that was broke off but my husband was able to glue it back on and make it work. The top piece is not very durable. A piece of tape fell on it and a a piece of brown top peeled off with the tape. But it still looks pretty. I would take a picture but we flooded in Imelda and my living room is not all put together.
