Although it’s just press board, the end product is super sturdy and looks like a much more expensive piece of furniture. It would save a lot of time to have help putting it together, but it’s very doable on your own. I assembled the whole thing myself in 4.5 hours moving at a very steady pace. The instructions are basic but work well enough, the pieces are all numbered and lettered. Every single piece fit together well and tightened nicely. The cabinet faces attached without any need for tedious adjustments. Really pleased with this cabinet.
