There were a lot of pieces but they were all marked and matched the instructions. I am fairly handy with constructing furniture and I was able to put it together in about an hour or so taking my time. It ended up being sturdier than I thought it would for the price. I like the way it looks and it serves its purpose. I am using it in an awkward area by the back patio door , where unfortunately paint, rollers, brushes and battery chargers and batteries for tools seem to end up, so this keeps it much tidier! I could see this being used in a bathroom for extra storage or a laundry room if you are fortunate to have one! I do wish the drawer went all the way in but I may need to adjust the drawer slide for that.
