Solid wood, sturdy, attractive, and easy to put together
I have assembled a lot of DIY furniture over the years, and this has to go down as one of the easiest ever! The instructions are clear and concise--I was never confused about what to do next. By myself, I assembled it in about 90 minutes (using a drill with an allen bit to speed things along). Its attractive, everything fits together well--no crooked doors or drawers. My only beef is it showed up with a significant dent in the top center (of course!) and a smaller dent in the bottom rail center that I didnt notice until Id already unboxed the whole thing. You pretty much have to destroy the packaging in the unboxing process, so there was no sending it back (plus, its heavy--I dont even know how I would go about trying to return). I have a plan to repair and re-paint the top, which is possible since its solid wood, but still. What a bummer. Overall, though, Im very happy with it. The cabinet portion is large enough to store my 8-quart InstantPot, several Le Creusets, and various kitchen items that didnt have a home. Many options for the shelf placement heights. Drawers hold placemats and napkins well, and the extra wine storage is a bonus. Id buy again.
