This was easy to put together, following instructions and laying out the parts, and took my time, not a problem, however this is most definitely not WHITE, more of an almond, beige or cream color.   Sooooo sitting in my kitchen with my white cabinets it looks off, I will probably end up taking it apart and painting it WHITE to match cabinets, as much as I am going to hate doing that I just do not think I will be happy with it until it is really WHITE.  I also think that if I have to take apart paint and put back together I will use some wood glue in some locations when I put it back together.   I really could not decide on 3 or 4 stars.
