My husband put together - was supposed to take one hour, but took nearly 3 hours.  He had some difficulty getting the pieces aligned correctly to secure them and some of the pieces wouldn't stay secure and were getting over stripped with tightening.  Once it was finally assembled, it was a little wobbly.  Slightly disappointed, but I guess it will serve it's purpose - had been searching for a narrow storage unit to house a bunch of miscellaneous items sitting in my kitchen.
