First, Im going to give this 4 stars considering the price point. In reality, its closer to 3 stars when I think of what I ideally want. However, when I see a 3 star rating it turns me away from a product and I still like this item, hence the 4 star rating. First off, it was packaged well. Lots of protection, however it still came with a few scratches/chips. This MUST have happened before it was even packaged and always frustrates me. Im buying a new item, it should arrive in new condition. However, this is just something Ive come to expect from unassembled furniture you buy online. Thankfully none of the defects were large enough a lil black sharpie would fit them. It took me approximately 2 hours to build by myself (32 yr old woman). The instructions were very good. Good pictures and all the parts were sorted and labeled well. The doors took a little bit of fiddling to adjust them so they would close properly and line up. A few extra tips on that process would have been helpful. I had to just try and figure it out myself. Once built, the piece is pretty sturdy. Now its not solid wood, so obviously it has a little give. It also doesnt have a back leg to stand on which is weird. It goes down to the floor on the front and sides. This is probably why mine kinda sagged in the back, also causing my doors to sit cockeyed. I put a lil piece of material in the back left corner to hike it up and that solved the problem. Its very attractive and Im pleased. It holds all our homeschool supplies nicely, and for the PRICE, its worth 4 stars.
4 stars for the price point
