All of the pieces were correctly made (e.g. pre-drilled holes in right places) so we didn't have to use anything beyond a screwdriver or request any replacement parts. The drawer is fine but won't hold heavy items, and the cabinet shelves are sturdier than I expected. It was easy enough to put together (about four hours for two people). The instruction manual left a little to be desired when putting together the drawer, but unfortunately most manuals are the same. Overall great piece we hope to get lots of use out of.
