It's very nice looking, fit my space perfectly, and gave me extra counter space in an apartment kitchen. It was packed very well (no damaged pieces). Directions are all diagrams (no words) and for the most part, they were easy to follow, and I put it together myself. Only one diagram was somewhat confusing.  It comes with an allen wrench.  The only other tool you need is a phillips-head screw driver. Two things that the manufacturer could've done to make it perfect:  1) Make the shelves adjustable--all they would need is to drill some extra holes, It would make it so much more versatile. 2) Improve how the doors attach.  The doors have retractable pins on the top and bottom. There were holes for the top pins, but not for the bottom ones--they just sit on the bottom shelf.  The doors would be much more secure if the bottom pins also sat in holes. This is the reason I did not give it 5 stars.
