I love this. It looks so nice in my kitchen and easily holds my large ice cream maker, and other kitchen items. You will definitely want a drill when assembling this. I opted not to put the shelf in, because I could see that when it was all put together you wouldn’t have the option to take it out and I needed more height inside. It shipped in two boxes which arrived on two different days. I wasn’t aware of that when I purchased it, but all the parts were in the box. It’s such a great deal for real wood!
