This is a great, sturdy piece of furniture! Even after reading previous reviews, I couldn't believe how difficult it was to put together. With 2 people, it still took 3+ hours. Pieces that were supposed to have holes pre-drilled (per directions) did not have holes and many pieces were not labeled. It was frustrating to put together. But once it was completed, the piece works great for my coffee nook. 
My only other complaint is that the shelf in the cabinet is not a full shelf, rather, it's a half shelf. This takes away from the storage space which I was bummed about.
