Simple and does the job. Ive put a lot of furniture together over the years and I fully expected to have to do the same with this / I figured Id have to assemble it completely. Instead, I was MOST pleasantly surprised to see a very well/packed box with the top portion (the drawers) already pre/assembled; the only thing I had to do was screw on the legs and the bottom shelf. It took me longer to vacuum up the shreds of styrofoam than it did to finish the assembly. Its quite beautiful, really, and is serving duty as a sideboard holding my crock pot, sandwich maker and actually even my microwave. Its surprisingly sturdy. Id buy this again in a minute.
By the way / this isnt pressed sawdust with a veneer. This is actual wood. Granted, its pine, but its real stained wood. Its a dark reddish brown, quite a warm finish, and the product photo is very accurate in reproducing the units color.
This is a REALLY nice piece.
