This piece truly made my kitchen/dining room! My favorite piece of furniture in the whole house! Assembling it took me about 5 or 6 hours, but I did it by myself, while taking care of a 2 month old...sooo with multiple hands it would be a pretty quick set up! Some of the instructions were a little hard to read and it didnt mention that several of the pieces have a front side and a back side. Which I didnt realize till I screwed a piece in that didnt have the white facing out but an unfinished wood so Id be mindful of that when assembling.
