My husband final had time to put this together for my Birthday. It did take a little while to put together but I love how it turned out. Now I got room for all my frying pans lids plus the 2 drawers do come in handy. But on the back side you could see the screws so I got some black paper tape (masking tape) and covered them up, it turned out looking good. As for the top, since you really can't put a hot pot on it without damaging it, I got a black granite cutting block and a big clear tempered glass cutting board. Love this cabinet & just what I wanted!
