I don't typically write reviews but I always read them. For this product the reviews were so mixed, I thought I should chime in. It assembled pretty easily but the directions had you perform steps in an odd order. You need a Philips head screwdriver which the instructions do not call for, I also recommend using wood glue. The left cabinet I had to take off and make new holes so it would sit flush, not something I should have to do as the hinge holes are pre drilled. It is still a little off, but you don't realize this until it is completely assembled. I would also like to mention, THIS PRODUCT IS NOT WHITE... it is absolutely off white. It looks fine, but it doesn't match our white cabinets which was disappointing. Other than that it holds plenty of items and is pretty sturdy.
