Cute, Sturdy, but dont buy if you cant follow picture directions.
I was a bit concerned buying this product because a lot of the reviews mentioned how incredibly difficult it was to assemble and how long it took. Im only one lady and I was worried that I wouldnt be able to complete it myself.
However its fairly easy to assemble and follow the instructions as long as you pay very close attention. Theres a lot of similar pieces that have holes either on the left or right side--intended to be either the left or right piece. The pictures very clearly show these holes so just be very careful and observant before picking up a piece and starting to screw stuff into it. Also, expect to own a drill because the holes for the drawer sliders are NOT pre drilled. A drill will also save you from getting carpal tunnel screwing in the 100s of screws on this thing. In total it took me about 2.5 hours to assemble, and I dont consider myself that handy.
If youre buying this only because of the lights, my suggestion is: dont. Or if you do, be prepared to replace them with an LED strip. The lights on mine stopped working after a week. However I planned to replace them with a reactive LED strip anyway.
Despite this, it looks super cute in my living room, and it shipped much quicker than I expected. I really enjoy it and I cant wait to add my new TV to it soon. It will look so cool when I add the reactive LEDs to it.
