The finished product is great, but getting there was difficult to say the least. Before purchasing I read comments warning potential buyers about the fact that the instructions left a lot to be desired, but I underestimated how bad it would be. I've built a fair amount of furniture my self for my new place -- this is the first time I had to call in favors from friends who both actually build things for a living. Again, the cabinet looks great, but worth the hassle? Eh.
