I purchased this for my dining room/office space and it is exactly what I needed! It arrived on time and came in 1 large box. There were several pieces labeled with letters and the instructions along with screws and other small pieces. My 16 yr old daughter helped me put this together and it took us about an hour in all(after she put a door on upside down, but we wont get into that onelol) Anyhow, as I first started putting it together, I started doubting my purchase as it is not real wood but a sturdy material and when you twist those screws in, you start to see what I thought was splitting of the material but once you get a few completed, you realize the material does that in those places when you start but once the screw is in, it covers the top coat so it isnt visible. I like that it has the top shelf area and so I can use the top to keep things tidy and the upper shelf for decorative purposes. The doors have magnetic closure. It is a small piece but perfect for the space I needed. I have purchased bins for the shelves behind the doors and if you are looking for size reference as I was, you will need no larger than 11.75W x 11.75Dx 8H. I actually found some that were 11x11x6 and are perfect. If the shelves are placed in the middle, you have about 9 inches total height per each shelf if that helps. The middle section of shelves are slightly larger, though.
I would recommend this to someone looking for a nice looking piece for a decent price. I feel the price is right on for this item and actually may buy a few more pieces from this brand now that I know the quality. Once it is all together, it looks so nice.
FYI just to save a little time.when we were nearly ending the completion of putting it together, we could only find 1/2 of the back piece. I was so bummed and started to make a call requesting them to send the other half piece, when we realized it was folded over on itself. It is super thin, but it doesnt matter as it was literally on the back and you never see it.
Very happy with my purchase
