I have to admit that when the package arrived I was a little upset. For some reason, I thought the piece would come assembled and looking at all the parts, thought I would never get it put together. However, when I sorted all the pieces and started, it was so simple. All the parts fit together like a dream and in less than two hours I had a beautiful, sturdy piece of furniture. I'm a sixty yrs old woman and had no problem doing it by myself. Wyndenhall has it down to an art and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase other pieces from them. Thanks to them and to Overstock!
