Debated giving this 3 stars because of the assembly, but overall for the price its cute and is coming in super handy, though it's not sturdy enough to use as a food prep surface for chopping, etc.  My issue with the assembly was that the directions weren't detailed enough so there was a lot of trial and error.  For example the slots on the shelves are tapered so you have to put them on with the larger hole facing down.  The guards you slide the shelves over are also tapered,  they have a thick and skinny edge, the skinny edge has to face up.  If you get any of those details wrong trying to get the shelves to make sense is frustrating.  The other thing I disliked is that its difficult to align the shelves and my wood top didn't fit exact - there is a corner that won't stay down level.  Ultimately though it is very useful and cute.
