Putting this thing together was a nightmare! It took me about 4+ hours (because I had to undo and redo several times) due to TERRIBLE instructions.  They would be better suited noting "unfinished/finished" sides etc, and you can't see the "numbers" on most of the pieces - that being said - if you do it slowly and use your brains - you can sort it out.  Just didn't expect it to be my entire plan for Sunday.  It looks nice - but the fact that the back is unfinished is a little disappointing as I wanted it to float in the middle of my kitchen - but it only looks good up against a wall.  You get what you pay for though. I am short on pantry space in my current rental, so this does the trick of adding space for food and linens.  The spice rack in the middle is kind of useless, but the top and bottom are great.
