As someone who enjoys furniture assembly, I can say this was pretty easy to assemble but it did take over 2 hours. This comes in SEVERAL pieces (12 panels, multiple connectors, feet, etc.) and only has SOME pre-drilled holes. Its very light-weight, so I would recommend using the foot supports if using this outside. I wish the supports on the back of this lined up with the shelves. (You can see in one of the images the back supports are between the middle and bottom shelf.) The 2 upper shelves end up with support just from the sides, resulting in bowing in the middle if you put any kind of weight on it. If the manufacturer could move the back supports to line up and support the shelves on all 3 sides, they would be much better able to accommodate heavier items. Fortunately, this will mainly be used for towels and plastic pool toys, so for us it will work just fine. All in all, its still a pretty good value and the wood adds a pleasant scent to the screen porch.
Not bad for the money
