I'm not that handy/mechanical or patient! Lol. Also, have somewhat trembly fingers.Overall, think it's more 'me' than the manufacturer. Still, do recommend having a friend around or on standby (esp. when installing those shelves, specifically) to help hold the other side. Directions were pretty good.Easily took an hour+ before was 100% put together & ready to go. Again, I think that'll come down to your own skill set.Had 1 temporary time consuming road block. One of the shelf bars (after inserting into slot) screws were initially very resistant while trying turn in even though they seemed matched up perfectly. Got flustered for a bit but glad I stuck w/ it! Simply switched/reversed the shelf bars into the other slots and all the screws went in smoothly.Overall, quality of materials seems decent. A bit crooked in one area but it's subtle & the kind of thing only I'd notice (vs. someone else).Bottom line...looks great! Love the color, height, and size. Something I've really needed since I have limited kitchen countertop space.Also, while I initially installed the wheels, I decided to remove & store them away. Much less wobbly w/out them when opening and closing my microwave! Plus, looks better w/out them in my opinion.Ya, wasn't 'quite' as smooth to assemble as expected & quality of the steele bars could've been just a bit better (thicker) but DO recommend.Bought it at a fantastic price during a flash special so feels like it was good & def. necessary choice.
