It was easy to assemble. I didnt have to use a hammer, just a screwdriver. The product was sturdy enough to carry a 50 TV. I like the gloss finish on the front side of the drawers, although there were imperfections with the paint job. Id hope that the assembly instruction was bigger, and that the parts where handled or manufactured carefully so the top part didnt have a dent on the front side. Luckily, I chose the black and gray combination, so it didnt look too obvious. Overall, it is a good buy.
