So I bought this a little over a year ago and have to say its a great piece.
Assembly was tough for one person. The old adage measure twice cut once applies similarly here where you need to read the directions a few times and look at the pictures and even move the pieces around until it all looks finebefore committing to an assembly step. Two people are recommended for assembly and I can see why. Most of it is straight forward but I will say a key point for future references is when putting on the top piece dont forget to point the arrow upward on the little metal brackets that will hold the pins on the middle wall and then tighten them 3/4 turn clockwise. The top will slide right in once you have it properly aligned and unlike when I assembled it you should not need to hammer down the top.
Where these guys really win me over is in customer support. I hired a moving company that visibly damaged the top of the piece to the point where even the handyman they hired couldnt fix it he could only disguise it. Simpli sent me a new top, free of charge, and helped guide me through the process of replacing it. I somehow lost the directions so I forgot about the little metal brackets that hold the center pins and spent a week trying to pry off the top. When I finally succeeded with the help of some friends the piece was so well made that the walls of the cabinet were undamaged and the top I was taking off to replace escaped with minimal damage. I take that as a sign of smart design allowing for people to be forgetful.
All in all the quality is great. Love the look. I highly recommend this piece and this company.
Great cabinet and good design
