Just got done assembling this kitchen cart and I really like it! It is suprisingly sturdy for a flat pack- much more solid than most things I've assembled from IKEA. Directions were easy to follow but it does take at least 2 hours. Do use a small lithium ion rechargeable power screw driver (I used the Ryobi quick turn) and your wrists will thank you. There are a few parts where you will need 2 people for assembly. The end product isn't heirloom quality but should hold up for normal kitchen use. It was extremely well packaged and the granite countertop was extremely well packed- no chance of breakage on that. In case you were wondering (like I was) if you can switch the towel rack and the spice rack on the ends you cannot.
