I'll be honest: this project took my husband and I about 4-5 hours to assemble, but we took our time and made it happen! I now have twice as much storage in my kitchen than I had before, and I love it!!! My home is only 644 square feet, so space is limited, and this unit (with a footprint of only 19 inches by 40 inches) has a huge amount of storage. It now serves as a multi purpose pantry and coffee station. Quite solid and all the doors and drawers work perfectly, after some adjustments on the hinges. There are LOTS of parts to assemble, but we had none left over at the end, so I suppose we did it correctly!
