I agreed with other reviewers that the directions were a little confusing but I was able to put this together with only a little assistance from my husband:-)  Overall I am very happy with the product, there were two minor blemishes on the front cabinets but nothing that anyone else would notice.  We have it in our kitchen and are currently using it to store the kids' craft supplies. I thought it was a great value and it is a nice casual piece of furniture that could be used in different rooms
