This is an absolutely beautiful piece of furniture. I'm a 68 year old woman and I put it together myself. I was able to follow the directions to get the doors evenly spaced. I must admit, that was a concern of mine after reading the reviews. The box arrived damaged , but because it is packed sooo well, none of the pieces were damaged. This is quality all the way! The handles are nice and solid, even the metal pieces that hold the selves have rubber tabs to put on them. The doors have glass, not plastic. I'm thrilled with it and makes a perfect addition to my home. You will not be sorry.
