Easier to assemble with 2 people, but overall, a great piece. Looks nice. My small kitchen has actual counter space now! I left the knife block/towel rack off and it fit in my available space like a glove. You do need to "futz" with the hinges to get the doors to line up well, but this is not heirloom furniture - it is a great buy, looks nice and makes life a little nicer. Can't be beat for the price.
