I was able to fully assemble this by myself (including placing the hutch on top!). It takes about as long to unpack everything and organize the pieces as it does to assemble. The stainless steel counter is a thick gauge and durable top. Arrived in perfect condition. The glass doors are decent. Just use a soft damp cloth to clean and they look fine.I liked this because it is unique and it works as an accent to the rest of my kitchen. Have decorated it to feel contemporary and enjoy all the sotrage.  The spacing from the countertop to the bottom of the hutch is 16 inches high if that matters to you for the things you want to place on the counterop.
