We love this setup... it's well made and looks quite nice in our home office. We went with the all white furniture and have blue gray walls so the contrast is quite pleasing. I'd definitely recommend this option. The majority of the assembly is to tighten hex bolts and drive in a few Philips screws, not too difficult although I recommend using a nut driver with the appropriate sized hex bit to make assembly easier (instead of the Allen key that's included).
