Real easy and just what I was looking for. I measured out my space and this was a good fit for my small living area. It was super easy to put together and only took 1/2 hours to put together. Super simple instructions. You would need a screwdriver on top of an Allen wrench to put this together. The only thing different was that the wood panel cover on the website is way lighter than what it is in person. I knew that beforehand based on the reviews I read so I was okay with it. I placed a 42" TV on top and it fits well. I am pleased with this TV stand.
