I've assembled cribs, dressers, beds, all kinds of furniture and this was seriously the easiest thing I've ever assembled. It snaps together without any tools. The directions actually made sense. Total assembly took 15 minutes. I will caution this unit is HEAVY! It took 2 people to assemble it. This unit is the perfect size and holds everything! We have kids toys, sidewalk chalk, etc. on the bottom shelf so it's easily accessible to our 2 year old and 5 year old. We have coolers stacked on top. Middles shelves hold extension cords, folding chairs, small air compressor, battery charger, etc. If you're looking for a great storage solution to maximize your garage space, this is it!
