I love this hutch! It takes a while to put together but I was one person and for the most part, the instructions were fairly easy to understand and put together. I probably spent about 4 hours assembling. But looks just like it does in the online photos when completely. I would recommend this. I ended up only using one of the two shelves, as I am using this as a coffee bar and the coffee maker was a little too tall to use a 2nd shelf. But that was my choice and not a design flaw. Did find a couple of areas that did not have pre-drilled holes but the screws had nice pointy ends and it was easy enough to just drill the screw into place even without a pre-drilled hole.
