I’ve assembled plenty of furniture in my day and I was able to put this together by myself in about 3 hours (with a couple of breaks) with nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver. Directions were fine, considering there were no words, just black line drawings. Like a few other reviews, one set of doors doesn’t exactly line up. I’ll try adjusting the hinges another day to see if that helps. It works exactly as I wanted and provides my kitchen with the extra storage and counter space that I wanted. I didn’t really want to use the towel holders. They are pretty flimsy. But didn’t like how the bare holes looked so I installed one on the side that faces into a high traffic area and is therefore easily visible. I might go to the hardware store to see if I can find hooks or plugs to cover the holes and remove the bar.
