Difficult - but not impossible - to assemble by one person. Do not overtighten the screwpins into the end panels; otherwise the round screwlocks will not engage the head of the screwpins. It is absolutely critical that you make sure the screwlocks have locked all the screwpins in place before standing the bookshelf upright. Otherwise, the glass doors will swing open and potentially fall out! Found it best to set down three of the foam packing blocks on the floor first (raising the first end panel off the floor a little), and assemble the unit overtop the foam blocks. That way, you can attach both the top and bottom BEFORE ever standing the unit upright. Attaching the top & bottom before uprighting makes the unit much more structurally stable (less likely that the unit will rack, casuing the glass doors to fall out). Just keep in mind that it's absolutely critical that ALL screwpins are LOCKED in place before trying to stand the unit upright. Try pulling each shelf away from the end panels; if doing so creates a gap, then you haven't locked that pin. Also, assemble the unit very near to where you plan to park it, as it is quite heavy once assembled. And, it's best to install the magnetic catches on one side of the unit BEFORE you ever stand it upright; this is CRITICAL, as it keeps the glass doors from swinging out when you are standing the unit upright.

For the price of it the material could be better and the hardware that holds it together is very cheap. Should have sent couple extras of hardware. However the first one they sent was broke and they sent another one as soon as I called them

This did take a little while to put together but it was definitely worth it. I constantly receive compliments on this piece. It looks much more expensive than what it actually was.

The enclosed bookshelves allow me to display my cookie jar collection without getting the jars dusty.
