I bought this pantry to cope with the kitchen overflow of my small apartment and couldn't be more pleased with the ample space it provided. It's large without being too imposing and although it took the better part of an afternoon to assemble, I found the work easy if not a tad time consuming. I don't mind the assembly anyway given the fantastic price; it's a very fair trade. I did however decide to remove one of the bottom shelves (so now there are two in the lower hutch instead of three) so that I could fit some taller items in the lower half. All in all I'm extremely happy and quite satisfied with this purchase.
