READ the directions first. Review the quick tips. The information is important when placing your boards in the correct direction. Overall, the set up was simple. It was my first time, so I did have to take off a few boards and turn them around.  Allow 2 hours max set up time. It shouldn't take that much time, but this is a good guide. The pantry is worth the price. Not high end,but does the job. Delivery was quicker than anticipated, which was a fantastic surprise. I am pleased with the overall process.
