I read a lot of reviews and researched a great deal of cabinets before I made my purchase. I have gotten so many compliments on this piece, and it was super easy to put together. I put it together in about an hour, by myself! The only problem I had was trying to move it once it was put together, its very heavy (which isn't something to complain about), but I wanted to mention it, so if you plan to put it together by yourself, ensure you have someone to help you move it afterwards, or put it together in the location you want it to be in your home. Great piece, love it, totally recommend to anyone looking for a country chic piece that's distressed just the right amount!
