This bar cabinet isn't too large and overwhelming - it did take 2 of us a bit of time to put together, though. Maybe 1-2 hours? Though everything was laid out well in the directions, and it's best to have a drill around that's not too high on torque. It's pretty sturdy and holds our coffee mugs, barware, and teapot. We didn't end up using the glass holders on top because that area is a bit shallow - maybe two glasses per slider?
