I was terrified for assembly, as there was a review that claimed ￼assembly was quite difficult. We did not find that to be the case.  I actually like this piece quite a bit and if it were not for the back, I would’ve given it five stars. The back is cardboard and had I been prepared I would’ve covered it with some sort of decorative paper. I suggest you be prepared a￼s other than that it is a great piece for a great price.
