The dimensions are just right for our mid-sized kitchen and it was not complicated to assemble. The only 2 things that I wish was better was that the gold hinges were better/easier to align as other reviewers have pointed out, and that the top (counter) was sturdier as it didn't seem it would be durable enough to handle a weighted item like an espresso machine. It looks well and does hold it, but I wouldn't mind an extra support for it
