I bought this because I was really needing good storage for my studio apartment and I liked the dimensions of this piece. Overall, the assembly is pretty easy/straightforward except when it comes to the doors + hinges. Finding the alignment for these has been frustrating. 2 of the doors arrived damaged so I am waiting for the replacement pieces to arrive. I built this on my own in about 2 hours with the help of a drill. It arrived in 1 box that is very HEAVY. It's definitely a cheap piece of furniture, but I think it looks nice for what you pay for and stores a lot. I will work on perfecting the alignment of the doors when the new pieces arrive!
