This is exactly what I was looking for. Its pretty sturdy, gives plenty of storage, and gives us extra seating when needed.
Ive read several reviews that said it was tricky to put together and I have to disagree. Im usually an IKEA shopper for furniture and in comparison this product was organized for building very nicely. All hardware was in individual packs and easy to find and count, and the boards needed were labeled. Some of the photos in the instructions were a little hard to see but over all was very manageable. I would definitely recommend two people for hanging the doors and such.
I am giving the product four stars because there was some damage to the parts. The bar across the spice rack had a crack in it, still very much so usable and mostly unnoticeable. The counter top is my biggest qualm has it has a gap in it. Again barely noticable unless youre looking for it, but it seems like it may chip. Im going to contact the company to let them know and see what options I have as they do say to let them know of any issues right in the front of the instruction book.
Overall Im very happy with my purchase and while it is a pain that there was some damage, between warehouse storage and shipping its always hard to say when it occurred.
