I'm pretty good at putting things togther and these directions were just awful. The one part I messed up on was the bottom square is not symmetrical as there is a little carved lip you don't notice to mark the backside of it. I had to dissesemble the entire thing and rebuild because eof that one mishap. Otherwise I do love it. It connects flesh with my counter height. Materials could be more expensive looking but I guess it is only 150$ or something like that. Perfect for what I wanted in my current townhouse. I will switch out hardware to make it look fancier. All around good buy and convenient to have extra counter space where my garbage can use to be!
