This product is just what I wanted - something to fit into a tight kitchen space that could add a bit of countertop, storage, and double as a table if needed.  I bought bar stools and flip up the ends - perfect since it is just me usually.  The instructions for assembly say two persons required but one stubborn person managed to do it in 3 hours total.  I found it to be pretty simple, although there are a lot of pieces!  All in all, it's a great product - I saw many when shopping that offer the same things for a much larger price.  This one is a keeper.
