Since I was in need of additional space in my apartment I eventually found this and I am glad that I did. It matches my dining area furniture that I also purchased just last year. Of course I read several of the reviews, specifically the negative ones and found them kind of hilarious.
This arrived in two boxes and there was a little damage to the boxes which you can expect from being shipped, but everything was well packed and either wrapped or had foam around it. I took all the parts out, inspected them and piled them up. I then proceeded to read the instructions, the instructions are not great and I made one mistake while I assembled mine with one of the drawer rails, but it was easily fixable. If you take your time and continually reference the instructions this thing flies together. I read where holes didn't line up or the doors won't stay shut and that is just crazy as the door magnets are adjustable. I did not have to adjust mine, but might.
I did find one crack in the wood for the top on the back, but it wasn't enough to warrant reaching out to customer service for a replacement. The only tools that I used was a cordless Dewalt drill and a regular screwdriver that you can swap from flat to Phillips. If you use a cordless drill go slow when screwing in the brackets and stuff and this will be a piece of cake to assemble with no issues. As I did it in between meetings and my lunch today it probably took me about 2 hours to build.
I highly recommend this if you are looking to add some extra space to an apartment or your home.
