Took about 2.5 hours to build. Make sure you build it when you're in the mood or else you'll get frustrated! Definitely easier with two people putting it together. Better quality than I was expecting. The unit is super sturdy and looks great in our kitchen. Our large microwave did not fit well on the car so we will be purchasing a smaller microwave so it looks better. Shelving height inside is adjustable, which is always nice! Overall, I highly recommend this product if you need extra space in your kitchen!
