I bought this cabinet because I live in an ADA apartment it has no storage at all in the bathroom. True to other peoples reviews that takes approximately 3 hours to assemble with instructions. The instructions were very easy to follow as they had pictures. I just put it together while I was watching a couple of movies and the time went by just fine. The components seem to be sturdy. Everything was pre-drilled except for the thin punkboard backing. The majority of the screws did go around the outside of this boarding to keep it held onto the back. However, none of those screw holes were pre-drilled so you have to put some muscle into it and expect that they will not all be perfectly straight. The size really depends on what youre getting it for. I can fit two standard towels and three hand towels and two washcloths on one shelf. The drawer really is not as deep as you imagine it being. I can fit a long package of Q-tips, medium package of cotton balls, a hair straightener and a curling iron in it. I guess what Im trying to say is that before you purchase this item you should stack up your goods that you want to put them to be and measure the size needed to make sure everything that you want to put in it will actually fit. Only about a quarter of the things I need to put in something will fit. Also, the piece that secures the stationary magnet on the cabinet (that holds the doors closed) was screwed all the way in but after opening and closing only 4-5 times the screws came right out and wouldnt stay in. The doors dont stay closed without the magnet.
Sturdy but measure your stuff
