I ordered this piece so I could have a designated drink station and free up some counter space. I dont have a lot of room in my dining area, so this is a great option for storage and doesnt overwhelm the room. I assembled by myself (woman with minimal assembly experience) in about an hour and a half and it was very simple, instructions were very straightforward and all of the parts were labeled clearly. I plan to take out the top shelf on the right side and have my husband drill in a bigger rack there so I can use the cupboard side for beer storage. I love how many bottles of wine you can store (15! I only have it set up for 10, though/ not using the third rack), and the wood looks very nice, not cheap or flimsy at all. Im thinking about ordering a countertop wine fridge and placing it atop. I think if I angle it just right it should fit perfectly. I will update my review later if I do this.
The only issue I had was with the magnet pieces. The screw is round and the hole on the magnet piece is oblong so it wanted to move a lot while I was screwing it in. I did end up stripping one of those out, but Ill just have hubs drill some new holes. All in all, very easy assembly for someone with very little experience.
Easy to assemble, doesnt look cheap!
