This pantry is so unique and can be used for so many things. I am using it for a craft table and storage. It took my husband a couple hours to put together. He said it was not hard, just a lot of hardware for it. The lights are inset in the sides and all you have to do is hook up the wires and plug in. My kids wasted no time drawing on the dry erase board with the included markers. It is such a space saver and hides all my craft stuff. It did come with one corner damaged but thankfully it was the bottom back corner and you can’t even see it and does not hinder the function of it.
