This was perfect for our laundry room! We wanted something to hide the bins of dog and cat food, and add some style and storage! It did just that. I put it together on my own, without my fiancés help- It took about an hour, not bad. It feels a little flimsy, and likely wont be a forever piece of furniture, just because its not solid wood, but for the price its great!! I would recommend for a friend )
