Easy to assemble.. I did have to use a power screwdriver as I wasn't able to screw a few screw in certain places. All pieces have a number on them so easy to find what bit you need when assembling, I would recommend that instructions have a few words to follow as well as there are only drawings. Exactly how it looks in the picture. Comes nicely packaged, no marks or dents. Nice and sturdy. Took about 1 hr to assemble.
