It took a really long time to put together, and I consider myself pretty adept at this sort of thing. Ultimately the side pieces do not completely fit together. I had to shorten many of the dowels. The drawer slides were 1. confusing to understand (directions made no sense) and 2. are not even in the cabinet so the drawers are not even when fully closed. It will work but it feels like a spent a lot on something that "will work."
