A friend said. "I can assemble that in thirty minutes"  Didn't happen.  Directions are clear enough, but understanding a little geometry (90 degrees, 45 degrees, 180 degrees) will make attaching the doors much quicker. I was surprised it did not have shelves, but that was my fault. I didn't pay enough attention. Seems solid enough. Holds quite a bit if you are storing--as in putting things  out of the way--and don't need anything any time too soon.
