We are using this as a coffee bar in the kitchen. It's perfect. It was reasonable to put together. You could do it by yourself but another would be helpful. I have two complaints- one, the posts for the front bottom ledge are not long enough so it's a little loose. I don't think it's structural though so it's not a huge deal. Two, the doors ended up being a little crooked because of where the pre-drilled holes are but you can't really tell unless you're looking for it. Otherwise, we're pleased with the overall product- especially for the price!
