I bought this piece to help organize my walk-in closet, and found it to be way more difficult than one would think to assemble. The pieces are not well defined, you're expected to drill holes where there are none, etc. I thought it was a huge hassle and if were looking again, wouldn't bother.

I bought one of these in the Target store and assembled it with my boyfriend's help (I'm not exactly adept with the screwdriver). It wasn't terribly difficult or time-consuming. I don't trust that it's *very* sturdy (not like solid oak, for instance), but then it's in a place where it doesn't get bumped, so it's not an issue for me. I'm using in my kitchen for extra storage, which works great. Just be careful if you keep any plants on top! The cabinet is not water friendly!

This is a great little cabinet if you don't really care what it looks like. It's easy to put together and provides much needed storage in out of the way places like closets. However, UPS is none too gentle with the boxes and some of the pieces arrived with dings and hairline cracks across the corners of the pieces. I bought two to stack in a 1/2 bathroom for an extra linen closet. So now I have to decide if I can live with the damage or if I want to go to the trouble of packing them up and returning them. Otherwise, you can't beat the price for what you get. I checked three different stores and none carried these in the stores, so I had to order online. So if you order online, look for damaged boxes when they arrive and refuse the shipment if looks matter and it appears that UPS beat them up.
