While it says it takes 2 to assemble, I did 99 of it by myself (cause A) space and B) I had to) with few (self imposed) problems.
If you are building it by yourself, or even if you got someone helping you, I do suggest clearing and prepping the area you are going to put it in first and building it right there to save pain in moving it any great distance cause its big and heaavy. I also suggest square or triangle stick/on furniture sliders (like Magic Sliders) and put them on the corners and straights once you got the base together and before anything else gets put together. That way you can move it easier as you build and once youre finished to where every you are putting it.
It is impressively stong as it took my weight on top and said no problem while I was trying to wire it for my entertainment stuff.
Downsides / if you are like me and follow the assembly to a picture T, the middle cut outs are placed to the topside. If you are using it for electronics, you better hope you have tall electronic equipment or long cords. If you go in with planning, you can have the cut outs on the bottom, but once the tops in place, you are giving yourself a lot of work if you change your mind.
Also/ the top 3 opens look good until you go to put something in them. My xfinity cable box fits great, but my audio and blu/ray are too big for them and so I had to put them in the 2 large openings. Thank God for the barn doors that I can close to protect them from pets.
Also/ you are given only ONE (1) spare of the furniture rod, the locking cam, shelf pin, wooden dowls, and each size screw. While I was building, I screwed up and broke one of the cams. Thank God for the spare. Just remember, you get to only lose 1 piece per type of hardware.
I love the color. I was a little worried that it would be still too light judging by the manufactured photos, but when I opened it, It was perfect. More so than the color I originally wanted but was not available. The overall design is probably the best assembly at home I have ever worked with and I feel this will last for decades with moderate care.
For the price, this is excellent. Just remember, stick/on sliders on the base when the base is assembled and you got no other weight on it, follow the pictures (unless you want the middle back opening on the bottom side), and take your time cause its got very little forgiveness for screw ups.
The instructions are a little confusing and could be explained a little better, but over all it turned out really well. Its a pretty sturdy piece of furniture for what you pay for.
I was so impressed with this product after I got it. It was very affordable so I was weary of the quality but the quality is great and it looks beautiful! I am so happy I was able to find a product I love for a reasonable price.
Looks great for the price! Took a couple of hours to assemble but it was worth it! Very sturdy and can hold all of the electronics and decorations we have.
