My husband and I were very impressed with how easy this was to put together last weekend.  It did take us 2.5-3 hours to complete, however the instructions were good and every piece was clearly labeled which was fantastic!  We actually made it through the entire process without a single argument which isn't usually the case when talking about furniture/construction type projects!

We ordered this cart to go against the wall in our kitchen.  I didn't realize this when we ordered it, but since the cart could be used as an island (or go in either direction against walls) the cabinets and drawers open from both sides.  The drawers will take a little getting used to since they can be pushed through the cart without anything stopping them, but I'm sure that we will get used to it.
