It looked great! I took someone else’s advice, and put a few layers of clear topcoat on the wood countertop part, BEFORE assembling. I’m hoping that will protect it and prevent it from staining or water marks. It wasn’t difficult to put together, just a little time consuming. I did it all myself, other than when I had my 13 year old daughter help lift the hutch part onto the lower cabinet during assembly. It wasn’t too heavy, just bulky, and too big for one person to do that step alone.
