(More customer reviews)... because it arrives in a Million Little Pieces.
"Easy assembly" my butt. This is a decent cabinet, and quite useful (if you don't mind pressboard), but the assembly is fairly complicated. It took me about two hours. Here are some words of caution for those of you who feel tool-time enough to give this one a try:
(1) Be careful with the glue bottle. The lid on mine wasn't pushed in properly (it sits in the bottle like a cork), and it glooped all over the first piece I tried to glue. Snip the tip off just a tiny bit larger so you won't have to squeeze it so hard, but don't snip too much or you'll have glooping for other reasons.
(2) Sort all the hardware, pegs, and wood pieces before you start assembling, and label the big ones with post-its to save yourself ten thousand trips back to the box it came in.
(3) Some of the parts are mis-numbered in the assembly instructions. If you follow the pictures and proceed slowly and logically, you should be all right.
(4) Use a buffering cloth when hammering parts together, and don't use too big of a hammer. It is really easy to damage, dent or even break this one while assembling it.
The instructions are fairly clear, and the only tools you'll need are a lightweight hammer and a phillips-head screwdriver. But plan to spend 2-3 hours working on this. If you're the kind of person who likes things to arrive in one piece, or if you're a woman whose father didn't teach her how to wield a toolbox (fortunately mine did), then you'll want to think carefully before ordering.
But it does look quite nice in my kitchen now.
