We just finished putting this together, it took several nights to complete. They estimate it will take 90 minutes to build; it took us 90 minutes to unpack, inventory the pieces the and clean the Styrofoam bits that get everywhere (were still finding them here there). They use sheets of Styrofoam to pack this but it breaks down in shipping handling and is just a mess.
Once you get unpacked, time to read the directions. Not great, luckily the pictures are pretty good so you can decipher from there what to do but there were times that the only reason I knew what to do was from previous experience building cabinets from scratch. You will need a drill! There were quite a few places that there was no pre-drilled holes for screws. Again, this is not an easy or intuitive item to put together so I would not recommend for someone with little or no experience and you certainly need 2 people to do it.
We bought this for extra cabinet space in our temporary rental and it is exactly what we needed. Its now got the microwave out of the way, opened up drawer space for us as the drawer is pretty big and we got some cabinets decluttered.
good once complete but not an easy build
