The assembly went better than a lot of other cabinets I have purchased off Amazon, however, the only high gloss part was the front panels. The sides and top were matt finish. Maybe I can repaint the sides and tops or use some high gloss vinyl.Beautiful console and sturdy with plenty of space. The lights give it an elegant touch. Assembly lacks enough clarity for the boards and for the light installation. ********Based on other people's reviews, I too assembled incorrectly the one board many had an issue with. Solution: use a drill bit size 7/64 or 3/32 to drill through the other side to properly assemble the door hinges for the middle cabinet door. ***********The lights required that I cut a hole (see pic) out to put the cable through and tape the lights to the front inside panel (instruction missing here).The assembly is a nightmare from the depths of hell....1.The pieces are numbered incorrectly.2. There is no number 6 at all.3.In order to install the doors on correctly ,you would have to be the size of a newborn baby to crawl into the cabinet in order to screw the doors on. Or perhaps you can just stand on ur head, I don't know.4.The entire finish of the cabinet is shiny white ...except for the top..why? The top is the part everyone sees first. All the other sides are glossy but the top looks cheap and matte.Looks good and easy to clean, only down side is having to put it together with bad instructions, but it’s not impossible it took me a good 45 minutes to assemble and I’m pretty good at this stuff, the only glossy part is the front, both sides and top are a flat blackI like it once it's been put together. It took us about two days and a ton of work to figure out the instructions. Most likely the world's worst instructions. It looks nice in the room but you can tell it's pretty cheapVery beautiful and clean lookIt's even better in person looks amazing
