The cabinet arrived damaged, which wasn’t entirely unexpected, based on other reviews. That said, was fair. Customer service did a good job connecting me with the manufacturer, getting them photos of the damage, etc. The manufacturer said they would replace the damaged piece, but they actually sent me an entire new cabinet. The second one arrived in good shape, and took me about an hour and a half to assemble. Not sure what all the crazy reviews were about, with people saying that the assembly was a nightmare. I think if you have assembled DIY furniture pieces like this in the past, you won’t have much trouble. I’m a small woman and did it by myself with no issues. The assembled piece is actually pretty nice for the price point. The color is beautiful. As some others mentioned, getting the alignment of the doors is probably the hardest part, and still isn’t perfect, but overall I think it looks really nice.
