I love the piece, but it is a little shorter than I would have liked. I am 5' 4 and I can see over the top with ease. The door alignments were off, but the instruction booklet helps you figure out how to fix it. I read some of the other reviews, and I did not feel like it was THAT bad to put together. The directions are straight forward with pictures and it took me about 2-3 hours to put together.
