Not only pretty to look at but extremely functional!  It took me about an hour myself to put together, not difficult at all.  I suggest you put it together close to where you're placing it so you don't have to lug it very far because it gets heavy after adding the shelving boards.  I also suggest you use a cordless screwdriver with the proper "star" attachments as it will make the installation so much easier and quicker.  Keep all screws loose until you've finished installing everything and then go back and tighten all of your screws....do this with everything you put together and it will make your life so much easier!
