I put this together myself, and realized it would have been nice to have another person helping as it was sometimes difficult. Read the directions and you should be fine. It is true that you should not tighten the screws and bolts until completely put together. That is the secret especially when it comes to the butcher block top. Once completed I was very happy with it. Fits nicely where I had envisioned it would go. Holds a lot. Clean looking.

Pros: Great price, looks fabulous.
Cons: Takes a while to put together if you don't have anyone helping.
