This storage cabinet turned out really nice once I got it assembled. It has lots of nice features like the little fold out desk/work station, half shelves, storage hooks, and upper cabinet. It looks nice and is the perfect size for the space we have for it. A lot of the other options we looked at were too deep to fit in the space where we are putting this. I was glad to find a slimmer option. It has a cute appearance. Assembly is a tad difficult. The instructions are by pictures only. Some of the parts werent labeled. This made it hard when youre trying to figure out left and right pieces. I had to disassemble a step a couple of times to get it right. For example the roof pieces need to go on right side first then left, as youre looking at it from the front. I also didnt notice that I was supposed to use the dowels to help connect top and bottom wall pieces. But it was easy to undo these and get it right. A little more instruction would help. There are pilot holes on most pieces, but not always on the pieces youre connecting them to. But it always worked out ok. Be careful with the hardware. There were exactly enough screws. So you want to make sure you use the right ones in each step. Fortunately all the hardware was labeled. It probably took about two and a half hours for me to put this together by myself. Some of the steps would have been way easier with someone helping. You will need a drill with a Phillips bit to do this and will need to adjust the torque occasionally so as not to strip the screws or split the wood. Overall, it turned out great, in spite of weak instructions.
