Ive bought a LOT of flat packed furniture over the past several months (new house and no furniture say what), and this was no more or less difficult to assemble than any of the others. My only complaint is the hinges are not great. Ive fiddled with the one on the far left for a while, and the door simply does not close entirely. The other two are fine, and lay perfectly flush when closed, but that one door sticks out maybe a quarter of an inch further than the other two. Its not enough to make me hate the piece, or to not recommend getting it, but it is frustrating.
I spray painted the feet and handles because I thought that looked nicer than the brown and went with my decor a little better, and that worked pretty well. I would recommend scuffing them up a bit beforehand tho, if you do. I didnt and some of the paint did peel, but thats my bad, I was just being ly in my execution.
Im using the piece as a bar cabinet in my dining room, and it works well for that. Would also be a great side board or storage cabinet in another space. It is very sleek looking, and depending on what color you get and how you style it could really work with a variety of styles. Im happy with the purchase and will work well until I can afford to buy a real, nice piece of furniture.
Okay, Not Great
