This is a great looking piece of furniture.  It is substantial and stylish in a very classic way.  However, putting it together is a bit of a bear.  It took my husband and I 3 hours to put together.  Part of the reason for the lengthy assembly was a major piece that connects the bottom cabinets to the section with drawers was put together by the manufacturer correctly therefore we had to drill some holes in order to finish putting the piece together.  It all worked out but it made a very challenging piece of furniture just that much harder to put together.  But once finished, it was totally worth it.  Looks great in our kitchen.  I'm very pleased.
