We purchased two of these cabinets in the oak finish to add kitchen storage.  Since hubby put them together while I was at work, I can't speak to the ease of assembly.  I did help attach the doors, and that went easier with the second cabinet when he pre-drilled where the holes were, so he didn't have to search for them with the screws.  The cabinets are very sturday, and make an attractive addition to the kitchen area. All of the cookbooks and miscellaneous clutter from a 7' bookshelf that was originally in the space fit into one cabinet. I love them!
