I love the way they look. They were not difficult to assemble but you have to pay attention to what side is up and what side is down. I Notes Items 1 2 have the unfinished ends with item 4(x2) and 6 on the finished sides while installing. Also pay attention to the dowels. They need to go in pretty deep and if they don’t, you will end up breaking through the finish. Lastly when you’re assembling 4(x2) you have to figure out where the pre-drilled holes are for the doors. I didn’t and had to drill my own holes and close up theirs. Overall, I will buy these again. The lights are fabulous. The look is gorgeous and clean. I am not confident a house with kids or large animals is the right place for these. The finish is not made for heavy weartear.
