The cabinet arrived very quickly and was very easy to assemble. I am a woman in my 50s and I am not handy at all, but the directions were very easy, with lots of diagrams. I was able to assemble it in about 1 1/2 hours. Because of all of the complaints about the doors being difficult to hang without rubbing, I spent time reading other peoples helpful hints, which made it very simple. The reason why I gave it 4 stars for sturdiness is because I kept finding little chips in the wood, after I had taken all the pieces out of the box and carefully inspected them. The parts were all in perfect condition when I received them but I would find little defects appearing as I was assembling it. Fortunately, I have an opened can of General Finishes Java Gel Stain, which I used to cover up the flaws and it was a perfect match. I use it at the front entryway to hide my childrens backpacks, which they usually just throw on the floor as soon as they come home from school. Now they are hidden in the cabinet.
