Just finished putting this cabinet together with my husband. It took about an hour and a half to figure it out. You need a lot of space to kind of lay everything out and the directions are not the clearest so be prepared to question yourself at least twice. Definitely missed putting in the plastic pieces on the backing and I think we'll be okay without it. Its particle board so there were a few dings but nothing noticable. Overall a sturdy piece of furniture and the cherry matched our cabinets perfectly.
