Put this together with my BFF. Between giggling, snacking, and other distractions, we did it in about an hour. It was pretty simple. No dings, no missing parts, nothing complex at all. Only one minor confusion about a mislabeled screw type (directions had a screw labeled as K, but there were no screws labeled K in the kit. After a while we realized that there were two different types of screws in the J part of the kit, and one of those matched the type described in the directions as K). Looks amazing in the kitchen, feels durable, and was exactly what I needed. Got the stainless top. Highly recommend.
