I am detail-minded and love to work with instructions so this was easy to put together but it did take time!  Read through each section a couple of times and make sure of your pieces and the hardware (which was very well marked).  One small problem that is not critical; the bottom drawer has a large enough gap that you see the unfinished lighter color at the edge of the bottom piece (under the drawer).  If this had been stained a couple of inches in from the edge you wouldn't have even noticed it.  Overall a very nice piece - quite heavy and sturdy.
