Assembly was easy. It is the exact size I needed which is why I chose this item. I am disappointed that there was some damage to the item likely before it was packaged. There are small dents in the side of one piece that were painted over but the cover-up paint does not match the finish on the product so the damage is readily visible. The only reason I am settling for it is because these dents were on the inside so I won’t have to look at them every day. There are also several other places where touchup paint was used that doesn’t match the finish at all. I kept it because I didn’t want to pay for return shipping. So it is disappointing, but it will serve the purpose. The power strip works well.
