Easy to put together - instructions and pictures are easy to understand - the pictures actually match description and theres some ammusing comments along the way.  This is the first item ive picked out that my fiance hasnt hated me for and I didnt hear a slew of profanity while assembling.

As for the tower itself - I wish the shelves were bigger than 2.5 but Ill find containers that will work. So far its been an amazing addition and I would definetly recommend this is you are even slightly considering.
