I purchased this for a craft room as it was exactly the size I needed. The mixed reviews made me a bit wary, but everything about it was just too much of what I needed so I took a chance.It said 10 days delivery, which I was fine with, but showed up in 2 days.Single box, so no waiting for a second.Astoundingly well packed, not a single broken or even chipped piece in sight.Yes, there were a lot of pieces. 48 different ones, not counting hardware and some of the 48 had multiple, but all the pieces were of a decent size and weight that I had no issue laying them out and managing them by myself.Instructions had no written language. It is all part numbers and pictures, but if you take your time and follow the pictures, this will go together with no issues. My only complaint for the instructions is there is no indicator of which side is the finished vs unfinished edge which contributed to the 2 errors I made in putting it together, but had I watched the instructions closer, both errors would have been avoided.Assembly requires very simple tools. Allen wrench (included, but I prefer to use my own). Phillips head screwdriver (not included, but I had my own and I added a drill to the mix to help me move a smidge faster). I did end up needing a small drill bit as the 2 drawers did not have pilot holes drilled on the bottom for the rails. This would probably be my only true complaint on the entire piece as this could be a problem for anyone without the tools.Instructions recommend 2 people, but I did this entirely by myself as a 5' tall woman. The only step where a second person would have been a huge help was in putting the 2 sections (top/bottom) together. You assemble both sections to about 75% complete them have to set the hutch onto the base. This was difficult alone, but not impossible for me.Assembly did take me the better part of 7 hours, but I spent a lot of time laying out all the pieces to make sure none were damaging or missing before getting started. I also did this 100% alone which made it take longer and finally there was not enough space in the room it was going into to assemble it there, so pieces had to be moved after being put together which also took time. I highly recommend asking someone for help if you get this. With help, I'd think 4 hours or less is doable.Final thoughts:This is a great addition to my craft room. This piece is astonishingly well made for not being real wood. After fully assembling, it is sturdy and only 1 door is going to need an adjustment to close right. The adjustable shelves are a huge bonus which make this piece even more versatile and the built in USB/power strip is a huge plus. The look of it was not hugely important to me, that said, I love not having to get anything in white because craft room. I will say this piece looks very good in the room. It has lots of storage (which I need) and also a functional flat surface. So this thing is the full package. Be it for your kitchen, craft room or wherever, I highly recommend it.
