This is a really great looking and the cabinets were soft closing after adjusting the tension on them, which was a nice surprise I didnt even know about! However, assembly is a lot trickier than it needed to be. For starters, I wish the packaging was better, though. It was annoying having to clean up so much styrofoam off of the furniture itself and off the floor when we were done. Taking apart sll that packaging added an unnecessary amount of time to assembly. However, once that was done, the instructions were outdated (probably for an earlier version or something) and contained the wrong illustrations with nonexistent holes, do we had to guess and hope it was right. If not for that, this would be a perfect rating, but I had to mention the frustrations putting this together.
From a distance, it looks nice. But when you look closely, you can see the low quality of mass/production: a few spots of too lightly/applied spray paint, some nicks in the counter top surface where the wood panels join up, one of the structurally/important panels for the drawer attachments came off right from the box, and the table part sits crooked. You can also tell they used super thin and flimsy panels when they could, like the 3 backside panels. So long as you dont kick your feet while sitting, it shouldnt break. Drawer sides only go about half/way up, and the bottoms are the super thin wood panels. I would NOT recommend silverware or heavy cutlery in those drawers without reinforcing the bottoms. Side attachment spice rack shelf is also super flimsy on the bottom, and I would NOT recommend using pump dispensers (like coffee creamers or syrups) while theyre on there unless you add your own reinforcement to the shelf.
Some of the craftsmanship issues are pretty easy to solve. A big tube of superglue reattached the loose panel. Two 3/8 gel bumpers leveled out the . And when a friend has a chance, were going to reinforce the bottom panels. And the spotty paint job is inconspicuous enough that it just looks like dust. Not ideal, but livable.
Negativity aside, its overall design and price is what drew me in. My small 500 sqft apartment has limited space, so I got it as a table to eat, prep for cooking and baking, and storage for kitchen supplies. I wouldnt recommend doing anything strenuous on the dropleaf side, but its wonderful for holding cook books, cooling racks, and the like. The countertop wood finish is waterproof enough to not get damage from missed spills or oils, but I would still not take chances with negligent cleaning. The wheels are REALLY solid.
The side attachments (towel rack and spice rack) are interchangeable, so you have some level of customization. I ditched the towel rack since I already had one, and it would make the table too big to get around in my limited kitchen space. Cabinet shelf height is also , but on the order of 1/inch increments. Construction was really easy if you follow the instruction manual exactly. You dont need a power tool at all, just some degree of arm stamina. It took me about 2 (10 hours) days to assemble it, partially because of limited floor space, doing it solo, trouble shooting the broken parts, and cure time for the superglue.
PS: 30 bar stools are a *bit* too tall for the counter.
It was NOT easy to assemble. When I bought it your instructions saidno assembly required . I am 76 years old and there was no way that I could assemble it. I had to hire someone. It took many hours to put together. I was very disappointed, no credit from you!!!!
Overall I enjoy the set but it did come with a broken piece, I used some gorilla tape to make it work since the box it came in was severely torn up and I did not feel like sending the entire thing back for just that. It also had a severe gouge in the top wood but I did not notice that until I had the entire thing together.
Im really disappointed with this because its actually really nice looking but first off, it was hard to assemble because the screws didnt fit in the holes , the holes and pieces do not line up and it wobbles despite me making sure all the screws were in properly and tight enough. I cant make use of the shelves because the grooves are not lined up correctly with the pegs so its unstable . Ill have to make new holes and grooves so that it can fit .

Good looking easy to assemble.
The was very easy to put together. The only tool needed was a phillips screwdriver. It took about 30 minutes. Very sturdy and looks great.

Nice but shipping likely damaged it

Made carelessly

Great!
