Overall the design is good, but the quality is pretty shoddy and the design for assembly was done poorly. The dowels are hit or miss on their size, so some fit too snug and some roll around in the hole. The metal brackets for mounting the doors came with crooked screw heads, so one of the doors doesnt close all the way. There are some screw holes that are very close to adjacent panels, so its pretty tough to get close and tighten the screws down. Overall I would love this product if the quality was better. Once assembled, its actually quite sturdy, but that doesnt take away from the fact that pieces are crooked and dont fit together as I would expect. I guess you get what you pay for, but I would expect a bit better for over 100. If you are thinking of using this as a long lasting centerpiece in your kitchen I would say move on. Luckily, I bought this with the intention of it being used for no more than a year, so I will keep it.
Nice design, poor quality.
