I gave this item 4 stars because the instructions were not very clear, and some of the parts were not numbered for easy assembly. I had to take apart and put this back together about 3 times because of that. So, it took me 3 hours to put it together. A couple of the pieces were slightly damaged but I was able to use them anyway. Overall, I really love the look of this cabinet. Its pretty sturdy considering I put it together by myself! I would definitely buy it again and would recommend it. Just pack your patience when following the instructions.
