I am sure that once we have assembled it the cabinet will serve us well and be a lovely addition to an area that needs to be redone. The "assembly required" is a hurdle of monumental proportions, however, and takes time and patience, not to mention expertise. Thankfully, the manufacturer has a customer service area willing to answer questions. I would be willing to pay shipping costs to find the cabinet somewhat put together, like hinges for doors mounted and glides for the drawer installed. We were delighted to find the cabinet, as it replaces one of similar style which fits the area previously described.
