One pictured instruction wrong and one door hinge defective...
This is a very nice piece. It's solid (meaning a good weight). Assembly will take a whole morning or afternoon. Took two of us about 3.5 hours (including some errors). Comes in two boxes and both are very heavy. Put down a tarp so that after Fedex leaves you can slide the boxes around without lifting.
Some tips:
1. Assemble the base first.
2. As you add the inside walls for the drawers, make certain the drawer rails are facing the correct way. We went by the picture and that was wrong. The wheels on the rails face the back of the unit. Trust me; we all discussed it, and then went with the picture then had to take it apart (which was fairly easy - thank goodness).
3. The "F" bars were difficult to align with the back boards; but that may have been because we had those drawer rails facing the wrong way.
3. We suggest that you put on the towel and spice rack just before you are ready to put on the cross bars for the marble top. Makes tightening some...
As Described.
I bought a number of these put-together furniture items, and this may be the simplest. It fits together like a Chinese puzzle, if you know what I mean.
Held together with a relatively few number of screws. The ad says it is solid wood, and it may be, because everything is painted white and no way to check without removing paint. Only slight problem I had was installing the remaining end and upper-back cross piece. This cross piece locks in the back thin panels, which by the way, are not cardboard but thin wood of some kind. So, you get the cross piece and the panels(3) lined up on some dowels and you have to force the pieces together engaging the remaining end. I didn't think it would go together, but I stuck with it, and it did. The drawer where straightforward to assemble, and a nice note, the rails where already installed as were the rails on the mating sides. Nothing really to complain about. It take two people to position the hefty piece of granite.
Also, it...
Decent quality!
This item came in with two packages, one is the counter top, and the other is the rest of the cabinet. It's quite simple to put together as long as you have the power tool, you do need to pay attention to the details of each component in order to assemble it properly.
The items came in decent condition, I did have some parts that had scratch on them, but overall I am pretty satisfied.
The wheels have locks on them, I thought it's worth mentioning.
I would give it a five star if the instruction can be more clear or somehow mark the parts, so people can immediately tell which way is the right way for each part. Also, of course it would be perfect if there were no scratches at all to the parts.
