I chose this particular piece over one already assembled because it best fit my needs in terms of storage, etc.
1. Hundreds of individual pieces to put together
2. Marginal instructions
3. Small frame pieces are fragile until fully assembled
4. Took a long time to assemble.
5. Composite wood has a very coarse grain which makes it easy to damage during assembly
Once assembled, it does provide adjustable shelving to accommodate taller bottles behind closed doors to prevent dust, two open shelves for preparation, small bottles, ice bucket, etc., and a drawer for smaller items like tools. Also allows horizontal storage of wine bottles needed to keep corks wet and prevent spoilage.
Tedious, requires careful patience
