I haven't fully gotten the unit assembled yet, but not because it's so terribly difficult. Like other reviewers have noted, the assembly instructions are totally pictorial. Personally, I love assembling furniture and have no trouble following pictures to do so. The problem was that a nut that was inserted into a piece of the wood was totally gunked up and I couldn't screw into it. I fixed it (luckily) by using some compressed air to clean everything out. WORTH NOTING though, I called the manufacturer customer service line multiple times to try and get a replacement piece and wasn't able to connect with anyone. This was frustrating, and if you do have a problem with the unit I'd suggest contacting Wayfair directly. I'd trust their customer service over one I couldn't even get in contact with. I'll update my review with a picture once I finish assembling it. I hope it's just what my kitchen needs :)
