I love this thing. It improved our dining room space dramatically. All my wine and schnapps glasses fit perfectly in the side shelves (except maybe Bordeaux glasses or Brandy snifters, they may be a bit big, but I haven't tried to be honest). The color is great and the material has a very nice finish for the price. Yes it is a little difficult to put together just because the instructions are just slightly unclear. Like others have mentions, just be aware of where the hinge screws go for the cabinets so you don't get the orientation wrong. PS I didn't bother using the glue on the wood dowels, but the thing feels pretty darn solid. In short, I think this is a good buy and really looks nice in the end.
