This is a beautiful piece but as many other reviewers stated, it is complicated to assemble. I have put together many pieces of furniture without any difficulty. But I left this one was sitting in the box and my husband accepted the challenge. It took over an hour not counting two trips to the hardware store to get screws, because they were missing. The piece is unfinished and the top required quite a bit of fine sanding to smooth it out before applying oil. But the wood is really pretty. I had measured before buying, but having it set up in the kitchen, it is smaller than I had thought. I like the versatility of the drop leaves. I can use one, both or none, depending on what I am doing. That drawer is pretty small and kind of rickety and it could really use an additional shelf inside the cabinet. But overall, I am happy with the quality of this cart and how it looks in my kitchen.
