It was a little hard to put together only because of the size and the fact that I had 3 people helping me who each had a different opinion of how it should be put together.  The 2 back pieces were the most difficult to get right, and I didn't get them exactly lined up.  When the unit is empty, you can see the seam across the back.  But since it's full of dvds, you can't tell.  It looks very nice assembled, and it holds a lot of dvds, video games and cds.  The moveable shelves are a little shallow and wobbly when empty, but again, when stocked with dvds, there's no problem.
