Being senior citizens there was no way my husband and I could have assembled this stand.  Our son put it together for us and it took about 2 hours.  He said the instructions were not that hard but after looking at them myself I think they should have been a bigger print.  Anyway, it is assembled and so far everything works fine.  Two of the door magnets, being plastic, chipped off when pounding them on, and one was chipped when we opened the package.  The handles are plastic and will no doubt have to eventually be replaced because they split a little when being screwed on.  Other than the negative comments, it looks and fits well in our small kitchen.
