It was very easy to assemble. The parts were all labeled and packaged well. I would say I highly recommend getting an electric screw driver. I never use the Allen wrench provided for building any of my furniture. You can grab an electric screw driver + all of the different screw heads from IKEA for cheap and it helps SO much when assembling your furniture. I would say that it said it comes with the Allen wrench but I never saw. Even if it did I wouldn’t have used it.
I would have wished that the top part was a little taller (where you place the hooks) because I wear longer jackets & cardigans and it hangs over the shelf. Other than that the whole piece is beautiful and well made and worth every penny.
I love that the shoe rack itself is made of black metal and not some cheap material. I love how the shelf is wood ( I thought it was going to be black metal like the shoe rack) and how the hooks are adjustable (you can move it left to right) so you can always add more hooks if you’d like.
