This product, when put together, is just as nice as it's shown in the pictures. As many have said, the instructions are flawed and in some cases just plain incorrect. For instance, the diagram shows 4 short dowels in the center but the kit comes with two long dowels for the center, so you need to make the logic leap. But if you have someone who knows what they're doing, it can be done. My boyfriend did it in about 4 hours total with no re-do'smistakes, but he is somewhat experienced at putting things together. The unit fits PERFECTLY in the space (I'm using it in my bathroom) and really you can't get this kind of quality for the price. I'm very happy.
